How to work it out

  1. Work out the discount: 75% of 80 = 0.75 × 80 = 60
  2. Take it off the price: 80 − 60 = 20
  3. Check: Add the saving back: 20 + 60 = 80.

Another method. In one step: you pay 25% of the price, so 0.25 × 80 = 20. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =80*(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: 20 instead of 80, a saving of 60.

Shopping: an item marked $80 with 75% off costs $20 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.
