Price of new shirt = 14.99
1/5 off the price means the new price is= 14.99 -((14.99)*(1/5))
= 14.99-2.998 = 11.992
Therefore you'll save [14.99/5] = 2.998 ~ 3

A new shirt costs is = 14.99
It has a sale for 1/5 off its price.
Now, find how much can we save with this sale. Let’s Find out how much is 1/5 of 14.99
=> 14.99 / 1/5, 1/5 means the value is divided into 5 parts
=> 14.99 / 5
=> 2.998 or 3.00 dollars.
Thus, you save 2.998 or 3 dollars in buying your new shirt
=> 14.99 – 3.00
=> 11.99 dollars = you’ll be paying this amount for your new shirt.
