Neither of your answers comes remotely close to the answer. You're looking for a percent not a huge dollar figure.
15 - 12 = 3
3/15 = 0.2
Multiply 0.2 to get the percent.
0.2 = 20%
A $15 item on sale for $12 is marked down what percent?
100 * $12 = $1200
$1200/$15 = $6000
Did I do the correct work, or is it this:
100 * $3 = $300
$300/$15 = $4500
Is the first work correct or is the second work correct?
