How to work it out
- Work out the discount: 30% of 200 = 0.3 × 200 = 60
- Take it off the price: 200 − 60 = 140
- Check: Add the saving back: 140 + 60 = 200.
Another method. In one step: you pay 70% of the price, so 0.7 × 200 = 140. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =200*(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.
