Discount divided by original price gives you a decimal which you then multiply by 100. This equals percent of discount
Eg: $15 discount, $80 original price
15 / 80 = 0.1875 x 100 = 18.75%

If something originally costs £650 (or even $650) with 5 percent off, then its modified price will be equal to 650 x (1 - (5/100)) = 617.50. The discount is therefore equal to 650 - 617.50 = 32.50. Don't forget to include the appropriate unit of currency.
The way I find percentages is: To find 17% I: Find 10 percent, Then half the 10 percent, to get 5 percent which makes 15%. Then find a 5th of the 5 % and double it to make 17%
find 10% * it by 2 find 1 percent * it by 2 add together
8% of 50 = 4
