How to work it out

  1. Work out the discount: 70% of 200 = 0.7 × 200 = 140
  2. Take it off the price: 200 − 140 = 60
  3. Check: Add the saving back: 60 + 140 = 200.

Another method. In one step: you pay 30% of the price, so 0.3 × 200 = 60. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =200*(1-70%). 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 70% off, you pay 30% of the price: 60 instead of 200, a saving of 140.

Shopping: an item marked $200 with 70% off costs $60 at the till, before any sales tax.

Stacked discounts

70% off followed by another 70% off is 91% off in total, not 100%: the second discount applies to the lower price.
