Question

If you make a 25% of discount how much money do you subtract?

Answer 1

lets say u want an item that originally cost $ 50.....and u get a 25% discount....then u are actually subtracting 25% of the original price.

25% of 50 .....turn the percent to a decimal..." of " means multiply
0.25 * 50 = 12.50.....so u would be subtracting 12.50 from $ 50 for the discounted price which is (50 - 12.5) = 37.5

here is another example...
u want an item that costs $ 90....and it is 25% off.....so u would be subtracting (25% of 90).......u would be subtracting (0.25 * 90) = 22.50 from the original price to arrive at the discounted price.
90 - 22.50 = 67.50...the discounted price

But let me show u something....taking 25% off is the same as paying 75%..
so lets say u want an item that costs $ 60....and u get a 25% discount...this means u r actually paying 75%.....ur paying 75% of 60.
0.75 * 60 = $ 45...this is what u r paying....no need for subtracting

Answer 2

You subtract 25% of the money you needed to spend on it.

For example, if the amount needed to spend before discount is 100

0.25 = 25%

100 x 0.25 = 40

100 - 40 = 60

you only need to spend $60 now.

hope this helps
