Answer: The discount is $8.25, the total price you pay is $46.75

Explanation:

To find the discount, you multiply the decimal of the percent, which is .15 by the total. So 55*.15=8.25. That is how much of a discount you get.

To find the total amount you pay after the discount you simply subtract the discount from the total, so 55-8.25=46.75

Answer:

discount = $8.25 Total=$46.75

Explanation:


(x)/(55) =
(15)/(100) 55.00-8.25= $46.75


(100x)/(100) =
(825)/(100) total= $46.75

x=8.25

discount = 8.25
