The answer is $6 off the original price.

40% off $15 is $6, making the total cost of the item $9.

How Do I Work Out How Much 40% Is?
Start with 10%, as this is easy! 10% of $15.00 is $1.50.

As 40 is 10 x 4, you need to multiply $1.50 by 4 to get 40%:

1.5 x 4 = 6, therefore 40% of 15 = $6

How Do I Work Out How Much A $15 Item Costs When It Has A Discount Of 40%?
Now that you know how much 40% is, you can use it to work out the discounted price of the item.

$15 - $6 = $9

Therefore, a $15 item with 40% off is $9.

To turn % to decimal, divide 40 by 100
Multiply that times 15 and subtract that answer from 15 OR:
Subtract 40 from 100, divide that by 100 and multiply times 15.
