IF something is 40% off how do i calculate it from the orginal price.?

Answer 1

The original price times .40, subtract that answer from original price,

Answer 2

you divide the orginal price by 40 then multiply by 100 then u take that from the orginal price

Answer 3

Two ways...

Multiple original price times .4 to get the discount savings. This will allow you to see how much you will be saving From there, you can subtract that from the original price.

Or, to make it more simpler, multiple original price times .6 to get the final price after the 40% savings.

Answer 4

The easiest way to do this in your head is to first figure out what 10% is. So if something is $50 then 10% of that is $5. Now you want to know what 40% is so just multiply $5 (your ten percent) times 4 (to get 40%). Your discount in this case is $20.

Answer 5

divide the price by 4 that gives you 10% and multiply by 10

ex: 48 / 4 = 12 x 10 = 120

12 is 1/4 and 120 is full price

Answer 6

multiply the price with 40 and divide the answer by 100

Answer 7

The easiest way is to figure what 10% is... and multiply by 4.

Ex Org. price 20.00 10% = $2
$2 x 4 = $8 off

Answer 8

if something is 40% off then it is 60% of the original

original to discount divide by 100 then multiply by 60

discount to original divide by 60 then multiply by 100

Answer 9

Just figure it by 10's. Let's say it's $90.00 and 40% 0ff so 10% is $9.00 and 9x4 is 36 so $36.00 off 90-36 is $54 that might be the easiest for you

Answer 10

40% off means 0.40 of the price is taken off.

This means the discount is (original price) times 0.4.

That means the sale price is (original price) - (discount).

You can also calculate it as (original price) times (1 minus discount), which in this case is (original price) times 0.6.
