Answer:

$425

Explanation:

The easiest way of calculating discount is, in this case, to multiply the normal price $500 by 15 then divide it by one hundred. So, the discount is equal to $75. To calculate the sales price, simply deduct the discount of $75 from the original price $500 then get $425 as the sales price.
