Best Answer

To take a percentage of a price, multiply the price by the decimal equivalent of the percentage, which is the percentage divided by 100.

25 percent of $15.00 = 15 x 0.25 = $3.75

To take a percentage off a price, you can either subtract that number from the original price ($15.00 - $3.75 = $11.25) or multiply the original price by the decimal equivalent of 100 percent minus the discount. (15 x 0.75 = $11.25)

Multiply the cost and then subtract that number from the cost.
For example something costs $100 and a discount is 3%. $100 x 0.03 = $3.
Then subtract $3 from $100 to get the final cost which will be $97.
