15% of 1500 is 225. Fifteen hundred is a round total that appears on mid-range retainers, quarterly caps, and “one and a half thousand” quotes. The fifteen-percent slice is 225, built as 10% + 5% with whole numbers throughout. Another route: 15% of 1000 is 150 and 15% of 500 is 75, and 150 + 75 = 225 because 1500 is 1000 + 500.
On a straight discount, £225 comes off £1500 and you pay £1275. Keeping both figures in mind helps you separate “amount saved” from “amount still due” when you are at checkout or signing off an estimate.
