    This question is asking for 15% of £7.99

    If you can do it using a calculator, just do this:

    15:100 * 7.99

    And that would give you the discount which would be £1.20

    If you can't do it using a calculator, you would need to break the percentage of 15% into 10% and 5% and work these out seperately:

    10% of £7.99 = 0.799 = 80p

    5% of £7.99 (half of above answer) = 0.3995 = 40p

    = £1.20

    So, to conclude, the amount of discount would be £1.20

    (So the notebooks would now cost £6.79)
