How to work it out

  1. Work out the discount: 25% of 30 = 0.25 × 30 = 7.5
  2. Take it off the price: 30 − 7.5 = 22.5
  3. Check: Add the saving back: 22.5 + 7.5 = 30.

Another method. In one step: you pay 75% of the price, so 0.75 × 30 = 22.5. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =30*(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: 22.5 instead of 30, a saving of 7.5.

Shopping: an item marked $30 with 25% off costs $22.5 at the till, before any sales tax.
