You will pay $12.75
(The easiest way of calculating discount is, in this case, to multiply the normal price $15 by 15 then divide it by one hundred. So, the discount is equal to $2.25. To calculate the sales price, simply deduct the discount of $2.25 from the original price $15 then get $12.75 as the sales price.)
