The pizza shop offers a 15 percent discount for veterans and senior citizens. An employee uses the calculations shown to figure out how to charge a senior citizen for a $12 pizza. What is the employeeтАЩs error?
(100% тИТ Discount %)(Original Amount) = Discounted Amount
(100% тИТ 85%)($12) = Discounted Amount
(15%)($12) = Discounted Amount
(0.15)($12) = $1.80
The discounted price of pizza is $1.80.
A) The employee used the wrong formula.
B) The employee subtracted the wrong percents.
C) The employee used the wrong equivalent decimal for 15 percent.
D) The employee multiplied incorrectly.
PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!
