--Answer--

1. $85

2. $15

--Explanation--

1. 15% off of 100 just means moving the decimal in 15 over by 2 to the left.

From there, multiply 100 x 0.15.

Then you get 15, so that's how much tax you are paying. Meaning Subtract 15 from 100 to get the price it originally was before tax. 100 - 15 = 85.

2. $15 dollars tax from moving decimal 2 to the left of 15%.
