Question 544840
Hey,

Solution,

Kate gets a 15% discount on the price of any item in the clothing store where she works. How much will she pay for a dress that at $58?

we can rewrite as,

15% of 58
0.15 * 58
$8.70

This is the amount she will get discount for.
Now subtract that from the original cost,

58 - 8.70
$69.30

So she has to pay, $69.30. =)
