An item is regularly priced at $65 . Ashley bought it on sale for 85% off the regular price. how much Ashley paid?

Question

I don't understand this question and I need it for homework. So please help me because I have to study for other finals.

Answer 1

If you get 85% OFF, then you only have to pay 15% of the original price.

your price therefore is 0.15(65), plus any tax that applies. (Tax should be based on this lower price, too.)
