How do you calculate a discount?

To calculate the discount amount, you multiply the original price by the discount percentage (as a decimal). To find the final price, you subtract the discount amount from the original price. The formula is: Final Price = Original Price - (Original Price * (Discount % / 100)).

How do you calculate 20% off?

To calculate 20% off a price, you can multiply the price by 0.20 to find the savings, then subtract that from the original price. A faster way is to multiply the price by (1 - 0.20), which is 0.80. For a $50 item, the final price would be $50 * 0.80 = $40.

Does this calculator include sales tax?

No, this calculator determines the sale price *before* sales tax is applied. Typically, discounts are applied to the original price first, and then sales tax is calculated on the new, lower sale price.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I calculate a discount percentage?

To calculate the discount percentage yourself, subtract the sale price from the original price to find the savings. Then, divide the savings by the original price and multiply by 100. For example, if an item was $100 and is now $75, your savings are $25. The discount is ($25 / $100) * 100 = 25%.

What if there is a double discount?

When there are multiple discounts (e.g., "20% off, plus an extra 10% off"), you must apply them sequentially. You cannot simply add them together (20% + 10% is not 30% off). First, calculate the price after the 20% discount. Then, take that new, lower price and apply the 10% discount to it to find the final price.
