The pizza shop offers a 15 percent discount for veterans and senior citizens. An employee uses the calculations shown to figure out how to charge a senior citizen for a $12 pizza. What is the employee’s error?

Respuesta :

(100% − Discount %)(Original Amount) = Discounted Amount

(100% − 85%)($12) = Discounted Amount

(15%)($12) = Discounted Amount  

THE ERROR IS HERE

AGAIN  (100-DISCOUNT) = 85 %  = .85  

10.20 IS THE DISCOUNTED AMOUNT

(0.15)($12) = $1.80

The discounted price of pizza is $1.80.
