What is percent discount?

Answer: "The percentage used to discount the price of something for sale." For example: If the percent discount of a product/service is 15% or (15 percent), then it would be calculated as follows: Price: 50$ Discount: 15% (to convert to decimal, divide 15 by 100 = .15) Discounted Price: 50 - (50 * .15) = 50 - 7.5 = 42.50 <--this is the discounted price or the lower price the customer would pay for the product/service.


Skateboard is 89 dollars 30 percent off what is the discount price?

30% discount on $89 is $26.70. The discounted price would be $89 - $26.70 = $62.30


Why is 20 percent off an item plus an additional 20 percent off not 40 percent?

Because the second discount refers to the already-discounted price, not to the original full price. Example: -- The item was originally priced at $100. -- It was discounted 20%, and that brought its price down to $80. -- If it's discounted again later, then the second 20% discount will be 20% of $80, not 20% of $100. 20% of $80 is $16, so the second discount will reduce the price to $64. -- If it had been reduced from $100 all the way to $64 in one cut the first time, that discount would have been 36% .


A 5 percent discount of an item and subsequent 3 percent discount is the same overall 8 percent discount?

Not necessarily. It depends on whether the 3% is based on the already discounted price or the original full price: eg original price 100, less 5% = 95. Taking 3% off this is a further 2.85 giving a new nett of 92.15. A straight 8% would leave 92 exactly...

Describe a procedure for finding the price of a discounted item if you know the percent of the discount?

If your item is 50 dollars and the discount is 10 percent, you can divide 50 by 10 which would be five dollars off. It the discount is 20 percent, you can take 5 times 2 which would be 10 dollars off. Always begin by figuring out a 10 percent discount and multiply from there.
