How to work it out

  1. Work out the discount: 75% of 200 = 0.75 × 200 = 150
  2. Take it off the price: 200 − 150 = 50
  3. Check: Add the saving back: 50 + 150 = 200.

Another method. In one step: you pay 25% of the price, so 0.25 × 200 = 50. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =200*(1-75%). 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 75% off, you pay 25% of the price: 50 instead of 200, a saving of 150.

Shopping: an item marked $200 with 75% off costs $50 at the till, before any sales tax.

Stacked discounts

75% off followed by another 75% off is 93.75% off in total, not 100%: the second discount applies to the lower price.
