Lets see how much we would save at Store 2 so we would first multiply 12.99 with .10 which is the decimal form of 10% to get the price of the discount...
 
$$12.99 \times .1 = ?$$

Once you get that answer you would then subtract that from the original price to get the price with the discount....
