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 add a percentage to a price, you can either add that number to the original price ($15.00 + $3.75 = $18.75) or multiply the original price by the decimal equivalent of 100 percent plus the discount. (15 x 1.25 = $18.75)
