The formula for discount calculations is:
Price x .Percentage = discount
Then you subtract the discount from the price.
(Don't forget the decimal).
Example:
Let's say you want to buy a pair of trousers for £40 and you are given a 30% discount.
£40 x .30 = £12 discount
£40 - £12 = £28
You would pay £28 after the 30% discount on a £40 pair of trousers.
The discount value is $11.99 and the sale price is $67.99
discount price = price / 2
70 percent is the greater discount.
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%
You could not. You need to know the pre-discount price as well.
The discount value is $11.99 and the sale price is $67.99
discount price = price / 2
Percent of discount is the percentage of a whole price that is taken off as a discount.
3.29 is 30 percent percent discount of 10.97.
70 percent is the greater discount.
The discount on the coat is $34. To find the percentage discount, you divide the discount ($34) by the original price ($200) and multiply by 100. This gives you a discount of 17%.
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%
15 percent discount of 210 is 31.5.
Percentage discount = 100*(1 - sale price/original price)
You could not. You need to know the pre-discount price as well.
Convert the discount into a decimal equivalent by removing the percent sign and placing the decimal 2 places to the left of the number in front of the percent sign. (25% = .25; 5% = .05, etc.). Then multiply the number that you want to find the discount for by the decimal equivalent. Example: to find how much 250 with a 15% discount is, multiply 250 x .15 (250 x .15 = 37.50).
A 50% discount is half off, and a 33.33% discount is one third off.
