You work for a landscaping company and need to purchase a new trailer. The original price of the model you are looking at is $1,799, but the trailer is currently on sale for 15% off.

The new cost of the trailer, with the 16% discount, is $1,529.15. If you multiply 1,799 by .85 (as with the discount applied, you are paying 85% of the original cost), you would be $1,529.15.

You could also multiply .15 by $1,799, you get 269.85 (which is the discount with the sale). Subtract this value from 1799 and you would get the current price of the trailer (above)

I’m not sure what sujevtbis this
