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.

How do you find the discount?

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).
