How much is a 10 percent discount?

Answer 1

A 10 percent discount is paying for 90% (100-10) of the original amount. So, if the price of an item is 100 dollars. Then a 10% discount would mean paying the item for 90 dollars.

Another example, if a t shirt costs 50 dollars and there is a 10% discount on that , that would mean the price is reduced to 90% of 50 which is 90*50/100 = 45 dollars. You could also say that 10% of 50 is 5 dollars. And then you subtract the price of the t shirt by 5 bucks. i.e. 50 - 5 = 45.

Hope this helps.
