How to work it out

  1. Work out the discount: 25% of 200 = 0.25 × 200 = 50
  2. Take it off the price: 200 − 50 = 150
  3. Check: Add the saving back: 150 + 50 = 200.

Another method. In one step: you pay 75% of the price, so 0.75 × 200 = 150. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =200*(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

After 25% off, you pay 75% of the price: 150 instead of 200, a saving of 50.

Shopping: an item marked $200 with 25% off costs $150 at the till, before any sales tax.

Stacked discounts

25% off followed by another 25% off is 43.75% off in total, not 50%: the second discount applies to the lower price.
