Been a div I am, how do I take off 15% from a price?

For example: 54.99 subtract 15%

Aod · 15 Dec 2007 at 00:56

54.99 x .85

freshy · 15 Dec 2007 at 00:56

54.99 * 0.85

or of you wanted to find the 15 per cent value *0.15

my ways easier!

to be fair, if he doesn't know how to get 85%, then how would he know how to get 15%?

Wasn't arguing with anyone elses ways, I was a bit amazed that a 19 year old doesn't know how to find a percentage of something. Sure I learned that in primary school.

s'alright mate. there are loads of things that i learnt (or should have learnt) in primary skewl that i don't know now.

anyway, you can use google for calculations, for example, what i said could be done in google like this:

54.99 - ((15%)*54.99)
http://www.google.com/search?client...(15%)*54.99)&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
