How to work it out

  1. Work out the discount: 25% of 60 = 0.25 × 60 = 15
  2. Take it off the price: 60 − 15 = 45
  3. Check: Add the saving back: 45 + 15 = 60.

Another method. In one step: you pay 75% of the price, so 0.75 × 60 = 45. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =60*(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: 45 instead of 60, a saving of 15.

Shopping: an item marked $60 with 25% off costs $45 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.
