There are two ways to do this problem the first: multiply the original price by the percentage marked down ($34x.15=5.10) then subtract 5.10 from 34 and that gives you $28.90. The second way: subtract 15% from 100% (85%) and multiply $34 by .85 which will give you $28.90. :) whichever is easiest :)
