📚 Understanding Discounts
Percent Off
A percent off discount reduces the price by a percentage of the original amount. For example, 20% off means you pay 80% of the original price.
Fixed Amount Off
A fixed amount discount subtracts a specific dollar amount from the original price. For example, $10 off means you subtract $10 from the original price.
Compare Offers
When comparing different discount offers, calculate the final price for each to determine which provides the better deal.
How Discounts Work
The term discount can be used to refer to many forms of reduction in the price of a good or service. The two most common types of discounts are discounts in which you get a percent off, or a fixed amount off.
Percent Off Example
A percent off of a price typically refers to getting some percent, say 10%, off of the original price of the product or service. For example, if a good costs $45, with a 10% discount, the final price would be calculated by subtracting 10% of $45, from $45, or equivalently, calculating 90% of $45:
10% of $45 = 0.10 × 45 = $4.50
$45 – $4.50 = $40.50
or
90% of $45 = 0.90 × 45 = $40.50
In this example, you are saving 10%, or $4.50.
Fixed Amount Off Example
A fixed amount off of a price refers to subtracting whatever the fixed amount is from the original price. For example, given that a service normally costs $95, and you have a discount coupon for $20 off, this would mean subtracting $20 from $95 to get the final price:
$95 - $20 = $75
In this example, you are saving the fixed amount of $20.
