On Sale! Percent off

In shopping or going to grocery store you should know how to compute percent off. Learn it how here:

Example:

You want to buy something that costs $1000, and it's on sale for 50% off. What is the item's sale price?

First, convert the 50% to a real mathematical number. For percents, this is always done by dividing the 50% by 100%, or 50% / 100% = 0.500.

Second, find out what 50% of $1000 is. This is the amount of the sale discount. This is always found by mulitplying 0.500 by the item's cost $1000, like this:

0.500 x $1000 = $500.00.

So for this sale, you'll save $500.00 on this item.

This means, the cost of the item to you is
$1000 - $500.00 = $500.00.


 Alternatively, you can think about it this way. The item is 50% off. This means you'll pay 50.000% of the total cost (100% - 50% = 50.000%).

Now what's 50.000% of the total cost?
0.500 x $1000 = $500.00.
Just like the result above, the sale price on the item is $500.00.
