Best Answer

To find a 5% discount, divide your principal amount by 100 and multiply it by 5.

You are effectively multiplying by 0.05 which is the meaning of 5 percent.

This is also equal to a decrease of 1/20th of the total cost.

You can multiply by 0.95 and you'll find the price you are going to pay after the discount

Calculate 5% of the rounded price, if necessary. You will need to do this step if the percent off discount ends in a 5 rather than a 0 (for example, 35% or 55% off). It is easy to calculate 5% by simply dividing 10% of the original price by 2, since 5% is half of 10%.
