The original price of the item is said to be 100 dollars.

Now, it offers 15% discount. Let's solve for the dicounted price.

=> 15% = 0.15

Solution:

=> 300 *.15

=> 45 dollars

=> 300 dollars - 45

=> 255 dollars

Raquel Schmidt · Answer 2

If you would like to know what is the sale price off the item, you can calculate this using the following steps:

15% of $300 = 15% * 300 = 15/100 * 300 = $45

$300 - $45 = $255

The new sale price is $255.
