1. $800, 12% 16. $2,500, 8% 17. $2,000, 7.5% 18. $600, 4%

Explanation:

Step1: Convert rate to decimal

For 15: $12\% = 0.12$
For 16: $8\% = 0.08$
For 17: $7.5\% = 0.075$
For 18: $4\% = 0.04$

Step2: Multiply sale by decimal rate

15: $\$800 \times 0.12$
16: $\$2500 \times 0.08$
17: $\$2000 \times 0.075$
18: $\$600 \times 0.04$
