Question 251872: My favorite store was having a 15% off everything sale. The jeans I wanted
were originally $49.99, but they were already marked down to $35.99
before the 15% discount. When I bought the jeans, what percent discount off
the original price did I pay? (Round to the nearest tenth of a percent.)
