Answer:

56

Explanation:

You would first do 60 divide by 15 and get 4. Then you subtract 4 from 60 and get 56 as your answer.

Answer:

$9.00

Explanation:

~~~~Hey there~~~~

1. Since it was 15% discount, that means you have to solve 15% of 60, which is equivalent to 0.15 x 60.

2. Since the product of 0.15 and 60 is 9, then 9 is your answer.

3. Your final answer is $9.00

Hope this helped!
