well there is two ways of answering this...
1st way
take the price of the item (lets say $20) and multiply by the decimal equivalent of your percent off.
20*.15=3
That figured up your discount so to get they price you would pay you simply subtract your discount from the original price to get the sale price.
20-3=17
2nd way
The other way is to subtract your percent off from 100(since 100% would be full price) to find the percent you would pay.
100-15=85
then just multiply by the decimal equivalent of your percent that you would pay by the original price to get the sale price.
20*.85=17
both ways will get you the same result if the values are inserted correctly

How do you calculate a discount?
I always use a factor of ten. Assume no matter what the discount is it is ten percent to find a ten percent discount just move the decimal point one space to the left, then take that number and subtract it from the original cost. Then in order to find a different percent discount just multiply the ten percent discount by the percent discount you are looking for, but move the decimal one space to the left again, and subtract that from the original cost. Example: something that costs $45 is on sale for 25% off. A ten percent discount would be $4.50. Multiply that by 2.5 to get$11.50. Then subtract that from the original cost to get $33.50. P.S. often times if you don't need the exact answer it is easier to round you numbers to get rid of the .5 to make the math easier.
