Question

The price of an item has been reduced by 15%. The original price was  $87.​

Answer 1

The new cost is $73.95

The discount was $13. 05

Explanation:

Turn the % into a decimal so it would be 0.15.

Then multiply it to the total, 87 x 0.15 = 13. 05

so the discount subtracted $13.05 off of the original price.

87 - 13. 05 = 73.95
