The pizza shop offers a 15 percent discount for veterans and senior citizens. Which equation represents the discount price?

A 15% discount means the customer pays the remaining 85% of the original price: 100% − 15% = 85%, or 0.85. Thus, the discount price is the original price multiplied by 1 − 0.15, so the correct choice is “Discount Price = (Original Price)(1 – 0.15).” Choice C gives the amount of the discount, not the price after the discount.
