How to work it out

  1. Work out the discount: 30% of 150 = 0.3 × 150 = 45
  2. Take it off the price: 150 − 45 = 105
  3. Check: Add the saving back: 105 + 45 = 150.

Another method. In one step: you pay 70% of the price, so 0.7 × 150 = 105. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =150*(1-30%). 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 30% off, you pay 70% of the price: 105 instead of 150, a saving of 45.

Shopping: an item marked $150 with 30% off costs $105 at the till, before any sales tax.

Stacked discounts

30% off followed by another 30% off is 51% off in total, not 60%: the second discount applies to the lower price.
