First you'll need to find 15% of 2,500, then you'll need to subtract that amount from 2,500.

To find 15% of 2,500, multiply 0.15 (15% = 0.15) by 2,500.

2,500 Ă— 0.15 = 375

Fifteen percent of 2,500 is 375.

Subtract 375 from 2,500 to find the price Joe paid.

2,500 - 375 = 2,125

Answer:

Joe paid $2,125.

I hope this helps :)
