Today, everything at a store is on sale for 45% off. If the regular price of a t-shirt is $15, what is the discount price?

Answer 1

To determine the amount you save, first multiply the regular price by the percent (in decimal form):

45% = 0.45

0.45 * $15 = $6.75

So the discount price or sale price would be $15 -6.75 or $8.25
