A store advertises 15% off an item that regularly sells for $300. what is the sale item? how is a 15% discount similar to a 15% decrease? Explain.

Answer :

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.
