to find the amount of 15%, you go
15/100=x/1450 and then you do means-extremes to find
100x=15(1450) use algebra to solve the equation
x=217.5 then you subtract x from $1450
1450-217.5=$1232.50 dollars selling price

Selling price = originial price - discount
= $1450 - $1450(0.15) = $1450(1-0.15) =
= $1450(0.85) = $1262.25
