How to work it out

  1. Work out the discount: 10% of 75 = 0.1 × 75 = 7.5
  2. Take it off the price: 75 − 7.5 = 67.5
  3. Check: Add the saving back: 67.5 + 7.5 = 75.

Another method. In one step: you pay 90% of the price, so 0.9 × 75 = 67.5. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =75*(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: 67.5 instead of 75, a saving of 7.5.

Shopping: an item marked $75 with 10% off costs $67.5 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.
