Another way of saying "take 15% off" is "pay 85% of the original price". So, multiply .85 by the original price:
Sale price = .85*32 = $27.20

Okay, so we start out with the regular price of $32.
First, we know that 10% of $32 is $3.20, so we'll subtract that from $32. We have $28.80 so far.
To find 5% of the $32, we'll divide our 10% value by 2. $3.20/2 = $1.60
Now, subtract $1.60 from $28.80 to get the sale price. You should get $27.20 for your final answer.
To check this, let's multiply $32 by 0.85
32 (0.85) = 27.2 = $27.20
I hope this helps. :-)

If it's 15% off, then the buyer will have to pay 85%.
85% of $32 is what amount?
0.85*32=n Multiply these for the answer. Round cents up.

Discount = $32 * (0.15)
Discount = $4.80
Sale Price = $32.00 - $4.80
Sale Price = $27.20

32-(.15*32)
32-4.80=$27.20
