how much would it be after 15% off?

Question

if something is for 50 dollars and u get 15% off ..how much would it be?

Answer 1

15% off means that you pay 100% - 15% = 85% of the original price. $50*85% = $50*0.85 = $42.50. So you pay $42.50.

Answer 2

If 100% is the original price and you take 15% off, you would be left with
(100 - 15)% = 85%

So you multiply 85% x $50
In decimal form 85% = 0.85, so

0.85 x 50 = 42.50

It would be $42.50

Answer 3

$50 - $50 *0 .15
= $50(1-.015)
=$50(0.85)
=$42.50

Answer 4

Find the amount when the base and percent are known.

amount = base x percent

Remove the % symbol. Divide 15 by 100

15/100 = 0.15

Multiply 50 times the decimal

50 x 0.15 = 7.5

The amount is $ 7.50

$ 7.50 is 15% of $ 50.00

- - - - - - - -

Subtract $ 7.50 from $ 50.00

$ 50.00 - $ 7.50 = $ 42.50

The cost of the item after decuction of $ 7.50 is $ 42.50.
