1. Discounts, Coupons and Sales
Sometimes stores have coupons or sales that discount the price of the products they sell.
The discount is usually a percentage of the original price.
Terms you may see for discounted items are:
50% off Save 50% Discounted by 50%
The discount is the amount of money you save and is subtracted from the original price.
The sale price is the new price of the item after the discount has been deducted.
For example, a $460 lawn mower is on sale for 35% off.
To find the amount of the discount, you need to calculate 35% of 460.
REMEMBER: change percents to decimals and “of” means multiply.
0.35 x 460 =  amount of the discount.
To find the sale price, subtract the amount of the discount from the original price.
$460 – $161 = $299.
The lawn mower costs $299 on sale.
