Answer 2

$13.35

Explanation:

To find the amount of discount, multiply the discount rate by the usual price of the small TV.

discount rate * regular price

The discount rate is 15% and the regular price of the small TV is $89.00

15%*$89.00

15%*89

Convert 15% to a decimal by dividing 15 by 100, or moving the decimal place two spots to the left.

15/100=0.15

15.0-->1.5-->0.15

0.15*89

Multiply

13.35

The discount amount is $13.35
