How do you calculate the amount of a discount?

Back

To calculate the amount of a discount, multiply the original price by the discount percentage (in decimal form). For example, for a 20% discount on a $50 item: $50 x 0.20 = $10 discount.

What is the sale price after a discount is applied?

Back

The sale price is calculated by subtracting the discount amount from the original price. Sale Price = Original Price - Discount Amount.
