How to work it out

  1. Work out the discount: 75% of 25 = 0.75 × 25 = 18.75
  2. Take it off the price: 25 − 18.75 = 6.25
  3. Check: Add the saving back: 6.25 + 18.75 = 25.

Another method. In one step: you pay 25% of the price, so 0.25 × 25 = 6.25. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =25*(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: 6.25 instead of 25, a saving of 18.75.

Shopping: an item marked $25 with 75% off costs $6.25 at the till, before any sales tax.
