Here is an example:
A store has 30% off on a glove that cost $20. So what you do is multiply $20 by 30%:
1. $20 x 30% = 6.00
2. So 30% off 20 is $6
3. 20-6 = $14
4. The sale price before tax for the glove is $14

Since the price is 30% off you still have to pay 70%. so you multiply .7 (decimal form of 70%) by the original price.
For example: a t-shirt is $10. It is now on sale for 30% off.
$10 * .7= $7

u would determine the items sale price by multiplying the original price times 0.70 ... then if tax is applicable u multiply the sale price by 1.0825 to get the sale price with tax included = )

Multiply the price by .30 and subtract that answer from the original price of the item.

All these other answers seem right, but I thought I'd say that I find it easier to find 10% and then multiply that by 3.
example:
(I'm picking odd numbers on purpose)
originally $13.65, 10% = $1.365 so 30% would be about $3.90 so then you do $13.65 - ~$4.00 = ~9.00.
originally $5286, 10% = 528.60, so 30% would be about $1590 so then you do ~5200 - ~1600 = ~3600
like I said, that's just how I do it, because multiplying numbers by .3 or .7 in my head isn't as easy as I'd like, but moving a decimal point is easy.

Multiply the price times .7, that would give you 70% of the price, or in other words (tada) 30% off. I use this method all the time when shopping.

Let's say the item costs 19.99 - 10% is determined by moving the decimal point one place to the left. 1.99 . I would round that to 2.00 - multiply it by 7 for 70% - then subtract 7 cents for the rounding off. The item costs 13.93

by multipling the sale price by .70 which would be 70% of the sale price.

Multiply the price by 0.30, then subtract that from the original.
Or you can multiply the price by 0.70, and that's the sale price
