Answer:

The sale price of the item is $ 255

Explanation:

To determine the amount of discount ( d ) offered by the store, we calculate

15 % of the sale price. Thus:

d = 300 × 15 ÷ 100

d = 3 00 × 15 ÷ 1 00 (take the 2 zeros out on both the hundred and 3 hundred)

d = 3 × 15

d = 45

If the amount of discount is known, the sale price ( s ) of the item will be the regular price minus the discount. Hence:

s = 300 − 45

s = 255

Hope this helps you! If not sorry!
