How to work it out

  1. Work out the discount: 25% of 75 = 0.25 × 75 = 18.75
  2. Take it off the price: 75 − 18.75 = 56.25
  3. Check: Add the saving back: 56.25 + 18.75 = 75.

Another method. In one step: you pay 75% of the price, so 0.75 × 75 = 56.25. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =75*(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
