How to work it out

  1. Work out the discount: 30% of 75 = 0.3 × 75 = 22.5
  2. Take it off the price: 75 − 22.5 = 52.5
  3. Check: Add the saving back: 52.5 + 22.5 = 75.

Another method. In one step: you pay 70% of the price, so 0.7 × 75 = 52.5. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =75*(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: 52.5 instead of 75, a saving of 22.5.

Shopping: an item marked $75 with 30% off costs $52.5 at the till, before any sales tax.
