Answer 2

Discount is $2.70

After-discount price is $15.30

Explanation:

To get the after-discount price, multiply $18 by (1.00 - 0.15), or, in other words, multiply $18 by 0.85. The after-discount price is $15.30.

Two ways to find the discount: one is to multiply $18 by 0.15; the other way is to subtract $15.30 from $18.
