Understanding Discounts

A discount is a reduction in the original price of a product or service. Discounts are commonly used in retail to attract customers, clear inventory, or reward loyalty. Understanding how discounts work helps you make informed purchasing decisions and calculate the true value of a sale.

Discount Formula

Discounted Price = Original Price - (Original Price × Discount% / 100)

For example, if an item costs $100 and has a 20% discount, the discounted price is $80. You save $20.

Common Types of Discounts

  • Percentage off: A reduction based on a percentage of the original price.
  • Fixed amount off: A set dollar amount subtracted from the original price.
  • Buy one, get one free: Receive an additional item at no extra cost.
  • Volume discount: Lower per-unit price when buying in bulk.

Frequently Asked Questions

To calculate a discount percentage, subtract the sale price from the original price to find the amount saved. Then divide the amount saved by the original price and multiply by 100. For example, if an item was $100 and is now $75, the discount is 25%.
