Cevap

$153.00\$153.00
The regular price of the tent is $180.00\$180.00. A 15%15\% discount means saving 15%15\% of the original price. Calculating 15%15\% of $180.00\$180.00 gives a $27.00\$27.00 discount. Subtracting this discount from the regular price ($180.00−$27.00\$180.00 - \$27.00) results in a final sale price of $153.00\$153.00.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the discount amount by finding 15%15\% of $180.00\$180.00.
0.15×$180.00=$27.000.15 \times \$180.00 = \$27.00
To find the dollar amount of savings, multiply the original price by the discount percentage expressed as a decimal.
2
Subtract the discount amount from the regular price.
$180.00−$27.00=$153.00\$180.00 - \$27.00 = \$153.00
The final sale price is the original price reduced by the calculated discount amount.
