How a discount is calculated
A percentage discount reduces the original price by a fraction of that price. Multiply the original price by (1 − discount rate ÷ 100) to find the sale price.
Worked example
An item priced at $120 with a 25% discount costs $90. You save $30.

Frequently asked questions
How do two discounts work?
A second discount applies to the already-reduced price, not the original price. For example, 20% off followed by 10% off is a total reduction of 28%, not 30%.
