Question

How do you find the percentage off of a price

Answer 1

Answer:

(Hope this helps can I pls have brainlist (crown)☺️)

Step-by-step explanation:

Example:

1. Find the original price (for example $90)
2. Get the the discount percentage (for example 20%)
3. Calculate the savings: 20% of $90 = $18
4. Subtract the savings from the original price to get the sale price: $90 - $18 = $72
5. You're all set!

Discount formula:

(original_price * discount / 100)

_____________________________________________________

Percentage discount is a discount that is given to a product or service that is given as an amount per hundred. For example, a percentage discount of 20% would mean that an item that originally cost $100 would now cost $80. This is common with promotional and seasonal sales, as a way of encouraging consumers to buy an item at a reduced cost.

Answer 2

1. Divide the number by 100 (move the decimal place two places to the left).
2. Multiply this new number by the percentage you want to take off.
3. Subtract the number from step 2 from the original number. This is your percent off number.

• A percent off of a product or service is a common discount format. A percent off of a product means that the price of the product is reduced by that percent. For example, given a product that costs $279, 20% off of that product would mean subtracting 20% of the original price from the original price. For example:20% of $279 = 0.20 × 279 = $55.80  

$279 - $55.80 = $223.20

You would therefore be saving $55.80 on the purchase for a final price of $223.20.

For this calculator, a "stackable additional discount" means getting a further percent off of a product after a discount is applied. Using the same example, assume that the 20% discount is a discount applied by the store to the product. If you have a coupon for another 15% off, the 15% off would then be applied to the discounted price of $223.20. It is not a total of 35% off of the original price. It is less:

15% of $223.20 = $33.48

$223.20 - $33.48 = $189.72

Thus, with a 20% discount off of $279, and an additional 15% off of that discounted price, you would end up saving a total of:

$55.80 + $33.48 = $89.28

This equates to a 32% discount, rather than a 35% discount, and this calculation is how the calculator is intended to be used. As an example, to more efficiently compute the discount described above:

Final price = (0.80 × 279) × 0.85 = $189.72

This is because 80% of the original price is the same as subtracting 20% of the original price from the original price. The same is true for 85% and 15% case applied to the discounted price.
