My answer is 11.25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Converting percentage to a decimal: 75% = 75 / 100 = 0.75 What is 75% of 15 = 75% * 15 = 0.75 * 15 = 11.25

Good?

If an item costs $132 after a 20% discount rate, what was the original price? @OwenOVOXO My answer is 165

OpenStudy (dayakar):

list price*(100-d)/100

OpenStudy (dayakar):

75*(100-15)/100 =75* 85/100

OpenStudy (dayakar):

63.75
