1. The discount rate is $$15\%$$, which can be written as the decimal $$0.15$$.

2. Multiply the original price by the discount rate to find the discount amount:
   $$
   \text{Discount Amount} = \$2300 \times 0.15
   $$

3. Compute the product:
   $$
   \text{Discount Amount} = \$345
   $$

4. Rounding to the nearest cent (if necessary) does not change the value because it is already complete:
   $$
   \$345.00
   $$

Thus, the amount of discount on the item is $$\$345.00$$.
The discount on the item is \$345.00.
