A pair of shoes has an original price of $60. What is the sales price after a 15% discount? *Plz explain your answer*

The original price is 100%, a 15% discount means the shoes are now ( 100-15 = 85) 85% of the original price,.

Multiply the original price by 85%

60 x 0.85 = 51

The price is $51

$51

Step-by-step explanation:

15% discount means that the new price is 85% of the original one. Therefore we just need to multiply 60 by 0.85 to find 85% of the number.

60x0.85=$51

The new price would be $51.

Similarly you could also have divided 60 by 100 to find one percent of it (60/100=0.6) and then multiplied it by 85 to find 85%. (0.6x85=51)

Hope this helped!
