Formula Used
The calculation for a 15% discount is based on the following formula:
Discounted Price = Original Price × (1 - Discount Percentage)
Where the Discount Percentage is 15% (or 0.15 in decimal form).
For example, if an item originally costs $100, the discounted price would be:
$100 × (1 - 0.15) = $85
This means you'll pay $85 instead of $100, saving $15.
Worked Examples
Let's look at a few examples to see how the 15 off sale calculator works in practice.
Example 1: Electronics Item
An electronics store has a laptop priced at $800. It's on sale for 15% off.
- Original Price: $800
- Discount: 15% of $800 = $120
- Discounted Price: $800 - $120 = $680
