Serena Bullock · Answer 2

0.150 x $20 = $ 3.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to buy something that costs $20, and it's on sale for 15% off. What is the item's sale price?

First, convert the 15% to a real mathematical number. For percents, this is always done by dividing the 15% by 100%, or 15% / 100% = 0.150.

Second, find out what 15% of $20 is. This is the amount of the sale discount. This is always found by mulitplying 0.150 by the item's cost $20. So for this sale, you'll save $ 3.00 on this item.

This means, the cost of the item to you is $17.00$
