The price is $18 because you change the 20% to .20 and multiply it by 15 which gives you $3and then you add which gives you your answer.

Answer:

$18

Explanation:

since she saved 20% you turn the percentage into a decimal which is .20 then multiply it by 15 because that's how much she saved and you get $3 which you add to $15 and you get the regular price which is $18
