Question

What is the amount of the discount on a $234 item with a discount of 15%?

Answer 1

35.10

Explanation:

since 15% translates into the fraction `15/100`, logic would say that you would multiply `234` by that. Since that can get messy, convert the fraction into a decimal, ergo

`15/100 = .15`

simply multiply 234 by .15 and you will get 35.1. don't forget to write it as a dollar value.

`$35.10`
