How to work it out

  1. Work out the discount: 60% of 25 = 0.6 × 25 = 15
  2. Take it off the price: 25 − 15 = 10
  3. Check: Add the saving back: 10 + 15 = 25.

Another method. In one step: you pay 40% of the price, so 0.4 × 25 = 10. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =25*(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: 10 instead of 25, a saving of 15.

Shopping: an item marked $25 with 60% off costs $10 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.
