Answer:

$4.56 after discount

Explanation:

The way discounts work is that you take whatever percentage of the original price they are saying (in this case, 15%), and take it off the full price.

Basically, if they say 15% off, that means you take 15% of the original price, and subtract that off of it.

First, you have to find 15% (the discount percentage) of $5.37 (the original price).

15% = 0.15

5.37 x 0.15 = 0.8055

$0.8055 is the total amount you are saving.

Then, subtract that 15% (the amount you are taking off) from the original price.

5.37 - 0.8055 = 4.5635

Since money only has two digits behind the decimal, we will round that amount up to $4.56.

So, the discounted price would equal $4.56.
