Percentage means a fraction with a denominator of 100. 15 percent is 15/100. 15% of something means you multiply it by 15/100.
Therefore 15% of 120 is 120*15/100 = 1800/100 = 18. In dollars, 15% of $120 is $18.
Now 15% OFF of $120 means you subtract 15% from the original price. So
$120 - $18 = $102. Final answer.
Or you could say that 15% (of anything) OFF 100% is 85% because 100 - 15 = 85.
$120*85/100 = $10,200/100 = $102. Same answer of course.
