1.) Divide the percentage discount by 100 to convert it into decimal. For example, if a shop offers a 40 per cent discount, divide 40 by 100 to get 0,4.
2.) Multiply the decimal number by the original price to find the discount percentage. For example,if the original price is $120, 120 is multiplied by 0,4 to find the discount which is $48.
3.)
Subtract the discounted amount to the original price to find the actual price with the discount subtracted. For example, subtract $48 to $120 to find that the price with the discount is $72.
