Question

ava went shopping for a new video game because of a sale. the store was offering a 15% discount. what number should she multiply the prices on the tags by to find the price she would have to pay, before tax, in one step?

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the discount

A 15% discount means Ava pays 100% - 15% = 85% of the original price.

Step2: Convert percentage to decimal

To find the multiplier, convert 85% to a decimal. 85% = $\frac{85}{100}$ = 0.85. So she should multiply the tag price by 0.85.

Answer:

0.85
