Frequently Asked Questions
How do you calculate a discount percentage?
To find the discount amount, multiply the original price by the discount percentage as a decimal. For example, 20% off of $100 is: $100 × 0.20 = $20 discount. The sale price is $100 - $20 = $80.
What does 30% off mean?
30% off means you pay 70% of the original price. If something costs $100, you'll pay $70 and save $30. The discount removes 30% from the price.
How do I calculate multiple discounts?
Apply discounts sequentially, not by adding percentages. For example, 20% off then 10% off a $100 item: First discount: $100 - $20 = $80. Second discount: $80 - $8 = $72 final price (not $70 from 30% total).
Which is better - 30% off or $30 off?
It depends on the original price. For items over $100, 30% off saves more. For items under $100, $30 off is better. At exactly $100, they're equal. Always calculate both to see which saves more money.
