A shirt was originally priced at $65. The store is having a 15% off sale. How much will you pay for the shirt after the discount (not including tax)? Round your answer to the nearest cent
A $65 shirt marked 15% off will cost $ before tax
To find the price after the discount, you need to subtract 15% from the original price of $65.
15% of $65 is (15/100) x $65 = $9.75
Subtracting $9.75 from $65 gives you $65 - $9.75 = $<<65-9.75=55.25>>55.25
So, the shirt will cost $55.25 after the discount.
