How to work it out

  1. Work out the discount: 75% of 75 = 0.75 × 75 = 56.25
  2. Take it off the price: 75 − 56.25 = 18.75
  3. Check: Add the saving back: 18.75 + 56.25 = 75.

Another method. In one step: you pay 25% of the price, so 0.25 × 75 = 18.75. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =75*(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: 18.75 instead of 75, a saving of 56.25.

Shopping: an item marked $75 with 75% off costs $18.75 at the till, before any sales tax.
