How to work it out

  1. Work out the discount: 25% of 150 = 0.25 × 150 = 37.5
  2. Take it off the price: 150 − 37.5 = 112.5
  3. Check: Add the saving back: 112.5 + 37.5 = 150.

Another method. In one step: you pay 75% of the price, so 0.75 × 150 = 112.5. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =150*(1-25%). 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
