How to work it out

  1. Work out the discount: 60% of 80 = 0.6 × 80 = 48
  2. Take it off the price: 80 − 48 = 32
  3. Check: Add the saving back: 32 + 48 = 80.

Another method. In one step: you pay 40% of the price, so 0.4 × 80 = 32. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =80*(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: 32 instead of 80, a saving of 48.

Shopping: an item marked $80 with 60% off costs $32 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.
