The price of the sweater is $68.

It is given that there is 15% off on the price of the sweater.

This means that 100-15=85% of the price will be the actual sale price of the sweater.

Let the sale price be s.


s=(85)/(100)*68=57.8

So, the sale price of the sweater is $57.8 or 57 dollars and 80 cents.
