okay so lets say i wanted to buy a shirt for $30.00 and the price was 15% off.what would the final price be, and how would you figure it out?????
30 * .85 = $25.50
30.00 / 100 (to get a Percent) = 0.30
times 85 (because 100% = 30$ , so 100 -15=85) = 25.50
so
basically...
30.00 / 100 =0.3 x 85 = 25.50 <- price after discount
take 10% off and then half that amount to get 15% and then take that total amount off the $30.(10% is the figure divided by 10 so thats $3 plus half of that is $1.50 so the total off is $4.50 os the final price is 30-4.50= $25.50
15% off means that the sale price is 85% of the original price.
($30)*(0.85) = $25.50
0.85 is 85% as a decimal
$25.50 is the sale price.
