How do you calculate a discount?
I always use a factor of ten. Assume no matter what the discount is it is ten percent to find a ten percent discount just move the decimal point one space to the left, then take that number and subtract it from the original cost. Then in order to find a different percent discount just multiply the ten percent discount by the percent discount you are looking for, but move the decimal one space to the left again, and subtract that from the original cost. Example: something that costs $45 is on sale for 25% off. A ten percent discount would be $4.50. Multiply that by 2.5 to get$11.50. Then subtract that from the original cost to get $33.50. P.S. often times if you don't need the exact answer it is easier to round you numbers to get rid of the .5 to make the math easier.
How do you find 40 percent discount off a price?
It can be helpful to first calculate 10% off by simply moving the decimal over one point. Then you can either multiply that by 4 or double it twice to calculate the amount off. To find the new sale price, take the original price and subtract the discount. For example, 40% off a $24.00 item can be calculated as follows: 10% off: $2.40 Multiply by 4: $9.60 Subtract from original price: $14.40 So the discount is $9.60 and the final price is $14.40.
