Walmart is advertising a sale where all Lego sets are 15% off. Mrs. Snyder decides to purchase a Lego set that originally cost $39. What will Mrs. Snyder pay for the Lego set on sale?

Well If you start with $39 you will need to turn your 15% into a decimal which is .15 Multiply that by your 39 and you get 5.85 that is your discount price so now subtract that from 39 to get 33.15

So this is super easy :) Simply turn 15% into a decimal 0.15
5.85 is how much money she doesn't have to pay.
So she has to pay 33. 15
