14.25
I’m not sure if this is right

Answer 2

14.25

Explanation:

So, lets go over our information.

We have a price of 15 dollars.

And it is 5% cheaper.

This means that the price is 95% of what it used to be.

We must find 95% of 15.

We know that to put 95% into decimal form, we must divide by 100:

95/100

=

0.95

So we know we must multiply 15 by 0.95:

15x0.95

=

14.25

So our price is now 14.25 dollars

hope this helps! :)
