Answer 1

Answer:

$15.30

Step-by-step explanation:

percentage wise, the whole thing is

100% → 100/100

Discount is 15% so the reduced selling price is:

100−15/100 = 85% of the original price.

So the cost to the purchaser after discount is

85/100 × $18.00 = $15.30

15.3

Step-by-step explanation:

18-(18×(15%))= 15.3
