How to work it out

  1. Work out the discount: 10% of 60 = 0.1 × 60 = 6
  2. Take it off the price: 60 − 6 = 54
  3. Check: Add the saving back: 54 + 6 = 60.

Another method. In one step: you pay 90% of the price, so 0.9 × 60 = 54. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =60*(1-10%). Taking the percentage of the price gives the saving, not the price you pay. Subtract it, or multiply by the share that is left.

What the result means

After 10% off, you pay 90% of the price: 54 instead of 60, a saving of 6.

Shopping: an item marked $60 with 10% off costs $54 at the till, before any sales tax.

Stacked discounts

10% off followed by another 10% off is 19% off in total, not 20%: the second discount applies to the lower price.
