discounts
Stores will often sell items for a discounted sales price. The store will discount an item by a percent of the original price. For example, an item that originally cost $20 may be discounted by 25%. To find the amount of discount calculate 25% of $20. (25/100 x $20 = $5.00) Subtract the discount from the original price to find the sale price. ($20.00-$5.00=$15.00 sales price). Terms you may see for discounted items are: 50% Off Save 50% Discounted by 50%

Harder percentages
Sometimes you will be asked to find a profit or loss as a percentage of either sale price or cost price. Always read the question carefully! e.g. A CD is discounted by 20%. It's original price was $30. a) Find the discount as a percentage of the original price. b) Find the discounted price as a percentage of the original price a) x $30 = $6. This is the profit. The discount as a percentage of original price is 6 30 x 100% = 20% b) The discounted price is $30 - $6 = $24 The discounted price as a percentage of the original price is x 100% = 80%
