The pizza shop offers a 15 percent discount for veterans and senior citizens. an employee uses the calculations shown to figure out how to charge a senior citizen for a $12 pizza. what is the employee’s error?

(100% − discount %)(original amount) = discounted amount

(100% − 85%)($12) = discounted amount

(15%)($12) = discounted amount

(0.15)($12) = $1.80

the discounted price of pizza is $1.80.

a) the employee used the wrong formula.
b) the employee subtracted the wrong percents.
c) the employee used the wrong equivalent decimal for 15 percent.
d) the employee multiplied incorrectly.
