What is a discount?

Back

A discount is a reduction in the original price of a product or service, often expressed as a percentage.

Front

How do you calculate the discount amount?

Back

To calculate the discount amount, multiply the original price by the discount percentage (in decimal form). For example, for a 10% discount on $100, the discount amount is $100 x 0.10 = $10.

Front

What is the formula to find the discounted price?

Back

Discounted Price = Original Price - Discount Amount.

Front

If an item costs $50 and has a 20% discount, what is the discount amount?

Back

The discount amount is $50 x 0.20 = $10.

Front

If an item originally costs $80 and is on sale for $64, what is the discount percentage?

Back

The discount percentage is calculated as: ((Original Price - Sale Price) / Original Price) x 100. So, ((80 - 64) / 80) x 100 = 20%.

Front

What is the original price if the discounted price is $45 and the discount was 10%?

Back

Let the original price be x. The equation is: x - (0.10 * x) = 45. Solving gives x = $50.

If a shirt costs $25 and is on sale for $20, what is the discount percentage?

Back

The discount percentage is ((25 - 20) / 25) x 100 = 20%.

What is a markdown?

Back

A markdown is a permanent reduction in the original selling price of a product.

Front

How does a sale differ from a markdown?

Back

A sale is a temporary reduction in price, while a markdown is a permanent price reduction.

Front

If a product is priced at $200 with a 15% discount, what is the final price after the discount?

Back

Final Price = Original Price - (Original Price x Discount Percentage) = 200 - (200 x 0.15) = $170.
