Ok so 225 x 0.15 =33.75. 225 - 33.75 = 191.25 that’s the answer

Answer:

$191.25

Explanation:

To find the price after the discount you will need to turn the percentage into a decimal. Since 1 represent as a 100% we will subtract 15% percent from it. To do this we will divide 15 by 100 to get .15. Subtract .15 from 1. This will give you .85. With .85 you multiply it by the original price of the shoes ($225). This will give you 191.25.
