On Thursday, the local big box store gives a 15% discount on purchases. The items in Tiffany’s cart total $96.82. She needs to know the cost of the items with the discount. So, she multiplies 15% times $96.82 and subtracts the amount from $96.82. Which expression would give Tiffany the same result in one step?

A. 0.15(96.82)
B. 0.85(96.82)
C. 1.15(96.82)
D. 96.82 – 0.15(96.82)
