How to work it out

  1. Work out the discount: 25% of 80 = 0.25 × 80 = 20
  2. Take it off the price: 80 − 20 = 60
  3. Check: Add the saving back: 60 + 20 = 80.

Another method. In one step: you pay 75% of the price, so 0.75 × 80 = 60. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =80*(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: 60 instead of 80, a saving of 20.

Shopping: an item marked $80 with 25% off costs $60 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.
