What are Percentages?

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. The total percentage is always equal to 100%.

To convert a fraction to a percentage, convert the fraction to decimal form and then multiply by 100 with the '%' symbol.

Given that the suggested retail price of a football is $65.00. Also, during a sale, the football was on sale at 15% off the regular price.

Since the price is 15% off, therefore, the price of the football will be only 85% of the real price. Thus, we can write the price of the football after the discount as,

Price after discount = 85% of the regular price

                                 = 0.85 × $65.00

                                 = $55.25

Hence, the sale price of the football is $55.25.
