The final price is found by subtracting the discount from the original price:
At £200 with a 25% discount: you save £50, and the final price is £150.
Multiply the price by (1 − discount/100). For example, at £200 with a 25% discount: 200 × 0.75 = £150, and the saving is £50.
You pay 75% of the price. At £200 you pay £150. At 50% you pay half, and at 70% only 30% of the original price.
Multiply the price by the discount percentage divided by 100. At £200 and 25%: 200 × 0.25 = £50 saved.
They apply one by one, not by adding. Two 20% discounts on £100 give 100 × 0.8 × 0.8 = £64, a total discount of 36%, not 40%.
Usually to the displayed price, which already includes 20% VAT. UK retailers apply the discount to the shelf price, so you see the final amount directly.
Divide the discounted price by (1 − discount/100). If a product costs £150 after a 25% discount: 150 ÷ 0.75 = £200 original price.
It means you pay half the original price. A £200 product costs £100. It is the easiest discount to work out in your head.
Compare the final price, not the percentage. A 30% discount on a high price can mean a higher final amount than 50% on a low price.
