To take a percentage of a price, multiply the price by the decimal equivalent of the percentage, which is the percentage divided by 100.
25 percent of 15.00 - 15 x 0.25 = 3.75
To take a percentage off a price, you can either subtract that number from the original price (15.00 - 3.75 = 11.25) or multiply the original price by the decimal equivalent of 100 percent minus the discount.
15 x 0.75 = 11.25
