Lindsey is considering purchasing an item that costs \( \$ 2300 \) and has a discount of \( 15 \% \). What is the amount of discount on the item? Round your answer to the nearest cent, if necessary. Answer Keyboard Shortcuts

To find the amount of discount, you can calculate \( 15\% \) of \( \$ 2300 \). First, convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing 15 by 100, which equals 0.15. Then, multiply this decimal by the original price: \( 0.15 \times 2300 = 345 \). So the discount amount is \( \$ 345.00 \). Now, if Lindsey goes ahead with the purchase, she can calculate the final price by subtracting the discount from the original price: \( 2300 - 345 = 1955 \). That means she will pay \( \$ 1955.00 \) after the discount, making for a sweet shopping win!
