Question

An item is regularly priced at $69. Deandre bought it at a discount of 15% off the regular price.

find out how much Deandre paid.

Answer 1

$58.65

Regular price = $69

Purchased at 100-15=85%

$69 x 0.85 = $58.65

Answer 2

$58.65

Explanation:

Deandre didn't pay 15% percent, so to find out how much she DID pay, subtract

100 - 15

Deandre paid 85% of the item

85% = .85

69 × .85 = 58.65
