the equation s = p - 0.15 represents the sale price s of an item with an original price p, after a 15% discount. A T-shirt costs $12. What is the sale price?

Respuesta :

Answer:

S = $10.20

Step-by-step explanation:

s = 12 - .15 (12)

s = 12 - 1.80

s = $10.20

If 15% comes off the price, then 85% of the price is left to pay. (100 - 15 = 85)

12 x .85 = $10.20
