Multiply the original price by the percentage. That tells you the amount deducted from the original price.
For example, $80 with 25% off would be:
80 x 0.25 = 20
Thus, $20 would be deducted from the original price... $60

Are you inquiring about an item being on sale for a certain percentage off? If so, here's one of the easiest ways to figure out the price:
Say a sweater is normally priced at $50.00
on Sale today only for 40% off.
If you are using a calculator, key in the following
50.00 x 40% = (answer will be 20) now deduct 20 from the original price of 50 and you will get the sales price for the item.
If doing the math on paper, write out 50.00 x .40 = (answer will still be 20) now deduct 20 from the original price of 50 and you will get the sales price for the item.
If you are looking for an easy way to figure it out when you go shopping without a calculator, you need to keep in mind that 50% is half of any price. Knowing that, If the above mentioned sweater was 50% off, then the price for the sweater would be $25. But the sale today is only 40% so you know the sweater will cost slightly more than $25. Just the opposite if the sale price was 60% off the the price would be less than $25.
Ok not easy to explain but once you practice with it a bit you should find it fairly easy to go shopping and estimate sale prices based on their percentages off.

You can do this two ways:
* multiply the price by the percent reduction, then subtract that amount from the original price to get the final reduced price
* subtract the % reduction from 100%.
Then multiply that percent by the original price
to get the final reduced price
Example A: $100.00 at 70% off the price
* 70% x 100.00 = .70 x 100 = $70 off the price
$100.00 - 70.00 = $30.00 final reduced price
OR:
* 100% - 70% [discount] = 30% [remainder]
So 30% x 100.00 = .30 x 100 = $30 final reduced price
Example B: $12.00 at 75% off the price
* 75% x 12.00 = 3/4 x 12 = $9.00 off the price
$12.00 - 9.00 = $3.00 final reduced price
OR:
* 100% - 75% [discount] = 25% [remainder]
So 25% x 12.00 = 1/4 x 12 = $3 final reduced price
I recommend doing both ways so you can check your work.

What percent and price are you asking about?
If you wanted 10% off $50.00...
You would do 10% * $50 / 100%= $5
You can just cross multiply in a box. 10 above 100 and _?_ above 50.

Give me an example and I can explain it to you. for example if you want 25% off and the price is 25.00 you divide 25 by 4 = 6.25 (is 1/4) x 3 =18.75 final price

If its 20% off say, multiply your price by .80 that is how much you pay.
100 % -20% = 80% divided by 100 = .80
40 $ at 20% off = 32$

change your percentage to a decimal, multiply by original price, take that answer and then subtract it from original price
example- 25% off of original price of $100.00-
$100.00 x .25 = $25.00
$100.00 - $25.00= $75.00

Example $1.50 with 12% off
1.50 x 0.12=.06
1.50 - .06=1.44
you will pay $1.44

Percentages are simple... 10% off of ... lets say.. $100 dollars is .10 cents off of every dollar.. so... multiply that.. and you get your answer.
