A product costs $100 and offers a 15% discount. What is the discounted price?
Correct answer: A. $85
- A. $85
- B. $90
- C. $95
- D. $80
Explanation
The original price of the product is $100. A 15% discount means you reduce the price by 15% of $100, which is $15. Therefore, the discounted price is $100 - $15 = $85. The other options are incorrect as they either apply the wrong discount percentage or subtract the wrong amount from the original price.
