How to work it out

  1. Work out the discount: 60% of 150 = 0.6 × 150 = 90
  2. Take it off the price: 150 − 90 = 60
  3. Check: Add the saving back: 60 + 90 = 150.

Another method. In one step: you pay 40% of the price, so 0.4 × 150 = 60. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =150*(1-60%). 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 60% off, you pay 40% of the price: 60 instead of 150, a saving of 90.

Shopping: an item marked $150 with 60% off costs $60 at the till, before any sales tax.

Stacked discounts

60% off followed by another 60% off is 84% off in total, not 100%: the second discount applies to the lower price.
