To calculate how much money Sue saved compared to buying the dress at the regular price, we need to determine the regular price of the dress.

We know that the sale was a 15% off sale, so Sue paid $21.50, which is 85% of the regular price. To find the regular price, we can divide $21.50 by 0.85 (85%).

Regular price = $21.50 / 0.85 = $25.29 (rounded to the nearest cent)

Now that we know the regular price, we can calculate the amount of money Sue saved:

Savings = Regular price - Sale price
Savings = $25.29 - $21.50 = $3.79

Therefore, Sue saved $3.79 compared to if she purchased the dress at the regular price.
