15% of the original price

A pair oh headphones is on sale for 15% off what percent of the regular price is the sale price

To calculate the sale price of the headphones, we need to multiply the original price by the discount percentage and then subtract that amount from the original price.

Step 1: Calculate the discount amount:
Discount amount = Original price * Discount percentage
Discount amount = $305 * 0.15 = $45.75

Step 2: Subtract the discount amount from the original price:
Sale price = Original price - Discount amount
Sale price = $305 - $45.75 = $259.25

Therefore, the sale price of the headphones is $259.25.
