Raymond works in an electronics store and gets a 12 percent employee discount. The original cost of a video game system is $175. What is the discounted price of the game system?

Well once I get out meh handy dandy calculator. I'm bad at explaining. 175 - 12% = 154. Hope it helps.
Since he got 12% discount,
% of the value =  100% - 12% = 88%

Discounted price = 88%  of  175 = (88/100) * 175

                             =   0.88 * 175 = 154

Discounted price = $154.
