The answer is C.


a product that normally costs $50 with a 30 percent discount will cost you $35.00, and you saved $15.00. You can also calculate how much you save by simply moving the period in 30.00 percent two spaces to the left, and then multiply the result by $50 as follows: $50 x . 30 = $15.00 savings.
