Answer: $255
Step-by-step explanation:
A store advertises 15% off an item which sells for $300. The sale item will then be calculated as:
= $300 - (15% × $300)
= $300 - (0.15 × $300)
= $300 - $45
= $255
The sales price is $255.
A 15% discount is similar to a 15% decrease because in both cases, one has to subtract the value of 15% from the selling price.
