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

With the 15% discount, you'll pay $680 instead of $800, saving $120.

Example 2: Clothing Item

A clothing store has a jacket priced at $120. It's on sale for 15% off.

  • Original Price: $120
  • Discount: 15% of $120 = $18
  • Discounted Price: $120 - $18 = $102

With the 15% discount, you'll pay $102 instead of $120, saving $18.
