Explanation:

Mr. Quick bought a new computer system. The regular price was $1,580, but he got a 15% discount. How much did he actually pay?

You need to turn 15% into a decimal.

Move the decimal point to the left 2 spaces.

15 ---> 1.5 ---> 0.15

Now multiply 0.15 by $1,580.

0.15 × $1,580

Which is $237.

Now subtract $1580 - $237.

Which is $1343.
