Worked Solution

Step 1: Find the discount amount. 15% of $120 = 15/100 × $120 = $1800/100 = $18.\n Step 2: Subtract the discount from the original price. $120 − $18 = $102.\n Step 3: The customer pays $102.\nCheck: $102 + $18 = $120 ✓ and $18 ÷ $120 = 0.15 = 15% ✓. Answer: $102

Correct answer: $102
