Answer:

$153

Explanation:

Hello!

Original Price: $180

Original Percentage: 100% (multiplier = 1)

Discount: 15% (multiplier = 0.15)

Given that the Original Percentage is 100% and the Discount is 15%, we are trying to find 85% of the Original Price.

Sale Price: 85% of Original Price (multiplier = 0.85)

  • SP = 85% of OP
  • SP = 0.85(180)
  • SP = 153

The sale price is $153.
