A jacket costs 80 dollars and is on sale for 15 percent off. What is the sale price?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. 68 dollars

  1. Step 1: 15 percent of 80 is 12 dollars. Step 2. 80 - 12 = 68 dollars. Answer: 68 dollars. Why not the others: 12 dollars: 12 dollars is the discount itself, not the price after it. 92 dollars: this adds the discount instead of taking it off. 65 dollars: this subtracts 15 dollars instead of 15 percent.
