How to work it out

  1. Work out the discount: 15% of 75 = 0.15 × 75 = 11.25
  2. Take it off the price: 75 − 11.25 = 63.75
  3. Check: Add the saving back: 63.75 + 11.25 = 75.

Another method. In one step: you pay 85% of the price, so 0.85 × 75 = 63.75. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =75*(1-15%). 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 15% off, you pay 85% of the price: 63.75 instead of 75, a saving of 11.25.
