How do you find the discount rate?

To find discount rate: ((Original Price - Discounted Price) ÷ Original Price) × 100. For example: $1000 product sold for $800, ((1000-800) ÷ 1000) × 100 = 20% discount.

How much am I saving with the discount?

To find savings, subtract discounted price from original price. For example: Buy $1000 product for $800, savings = 1000 - 800 = $200.

How are multiple discounts calculated?

When multiple discounts apply, they are applied sequentially. For example, 20% + 10% discount: First apply 20% (1000 × 0.80 = 800), then apply 10% (800 × 0.90 = 720).

To calculate discounted price, subtract the discount amount from the original price. Discount Amount = Original Price × (Discount Rate ÷ 100). For example: $1000 with 20% discount = 1000 - (1000 × 0.20) = $800

A discount is a reduction from the original price, usually expressed as a percentage. Understanding how discounts are calculated helps you make smarter shopping decisions and spot deals that aren't as good as they appear. Discount formula: Discounted Price = Original Price × (1 - Discount% / 100). For example, a $80 item with 25% off: $80 × 0.75 = $60. Stacked discounts: When two discounts are applied (e.g., 20% off, then an extra 10% off), they are NOT added together. A 20% + 10% discount is not 30% off — it's actually 28% off. The second discount applies to the already-reduced price. Original price from discounted price: If you know the sale price and discount rate, you can find the original: Original = Sale Price ÷ (1 - Discount% / 100). Watch out for: Stores that inflate the 'original' price before applying a discount to make savings look larger. Always compare the final price to market value, not just the advertised savings percentage.
