How to work it out

  1. Work out the discount: 70% of 80 = 0.7 × 80 = 56
  2. Take it off the price: 80 − 56 = 24
  3. Check: Add the saving back: 24 + 56 = 80.

Another method. In one step: you pay 30% of the price, so 0.3 × 80 = 24. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =80*(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: 24 instead of 80, a saving of 56.

Shopping: an item marked $80 with 70% off costs $24 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.
