Answer:

B. $25.50

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a bit of a trick question.

To find how much money is taken off the price, you would do 15% (0.15) • 30 and you get $4.50. This is the discount that is taken off of the price, not the discounted price. To find the new discounted price, subtract the $4.50 from $30.00.

$30.00 - $4.50 = $25.50
