Math Problem Statement
A shirt was originally priced at $25. The store is having a 15% off sale.
How much will you pay for the shirt after the discount (not including tax)?
Solution
To calculate the price of the shirt after a 15% discount:
- The original price of the shirt is $25.
- The discount amount is 15% of $25.
We can find the discount amount by multiplying $25 by 15% (or 0.15):
- Subtract the discount from the original price:
So, the price of the shirt after the discount is $21.25.
