Question

Mav went shopping for a new video game because of a sale. The store was offering a 15% discount. What number should she multiply the prices on the tags by to find the price she would have to pay, before tax, in one step?

Answer 1

Answer:

.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Price she would have to pay =

(Price on Tag (Original Price)) - (Cost Discount) =

(Price on Tag) - (15%)(Price on Tag) =

(100%)(Price on Tag) - (15%)(Price on Tag) =

(100% - 15%)(Price on Tag) =

85% * (Price on Tag) =

.85 * (Price on Tag),

so .85 is the answer.
