10% reduction will always be 10% of whatever the goods purchased amount to. Prices of goods offered for sale can vary throughout the year, yet 10% (or the discount offered) will always be 10% of the total sale.

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.


Do you know if there is a discount on treadmills?

I have looked on the Big Lots site, and have found that they do not carry treadmills. There are a variety of alternatives for purchasing one though, and you can try stores such as Sears, or online with sites such as EBay and Amazon. I am sure you will find something perhaps used for a discounted price.


A family went to a restaurant the total cost of the meal was 48.30 the family had a coupon for 20 percent off the total What was the final cost of the meal after the coupon was used?

Well, to find 20% of something, you multiply that something by 0.20. so 48.30 x 0.20 is equal to 9.66, and so you subtract 9.66 from 48.30 (because that is what a discount usually is)) and 48.30 -9.66 = 38.64, so their final bill was (or is) $38.64) :)

What is 1 percent 10th prox payment terms?

1 percent 10th prox payment terms refer to a payment discount structure commonly used in business transactions. It means that a buyer can take a 1% discount off the invoice total if payment is made by the 10th of the month following the invoice date. If the payment is not made by that date, the full invoice amount is due. This incentivizes timely payments while allowing a brief period for settling accounts.
