We are not born knowing and it is likely that you are one of those people who do not know how to calculate the cost of a product that they find at a discount in a store. It is a real problem, but right now we are going to solve it.
If you already know how to do it, do not worry, it never hurts to review what you have learned, you could even take a method that is easier for you after reading the two methods that we give you to calculate the price of discounted products .
Method 1
The drawer that you should have learned in school. It is enough that you think that the discount that this product has, is part of the 100% total. So the discount is a part (or fraction) of that “total.”
For example: If a product that costs Sh.799 has a discount of 15%, we must think of the rest that remains of 100%.
100-15 = 85
We multiply the total price, minus the percentage equivalent.
799 * .85 = 679.15
It is the discounted product price.
Method 2
Sometimes an equivalence is the easiest way to calculate a percentage.
To understand it: 25% of 8 equals 8% of 25. That is, 2. Apply with all the numbers, and thus we will know how much to subtract from the total.
