Answer:

The price is $29.75

Explanation:

Because it is 15 percent off, that means that the jeans are priced at 100%-15%=85%. To convert a percent to a decimal, move the decimal two places to the left. This gives us .85. Multiply 35 by .85 and you will get 29.75. Hope this helps!

15% of 35 is 5.25
35-5.25=29.75
