Question 6 $0 / 1$ pt 53 A skirt was originally priced at $\$ 50$. The store is having a $15 \%$ off sale. How much of a discount will you receive on the skirt? $\$$ Submit Question

Step 1 ：The question is asking for the amount of discount on a skirt originally priced at $50 with a 15% off sale.

Step 2 ：To find this, we need to calculate 15% of $50.

Step 3 ：This can be done by multiplying 50 by 0.15 (which is the decimal equivalent of 15%).

Step 4 ：Let's denote the original price as \(original\_price = 50\), and the discount percent as \(discount\_percent = 15\).

Step 5 ：We can calculate the discount amount as \(discount\_amount = original\_price \times \frac{discount\_percent}{100}\).

Step 6 ：Substituting the given values, we get \(discount\_amount = 50 \times \frac{15}{100} = 7.5\).

Step 7 ：Final Answer: The discount on the skirt is \(\boxed{7.5}\) dollars.
