Multiply 7.99 by 0.8
(0.8 as that will give you the value when it is at 80% of its original price) |

20% off means you pay 80% for the item, so on your mobile phone the price would be 7.99x0.8 (0.8 is the decimal version of 80%).
Alternatively, 100/20 is 5, so you take off 1/5 of the price. You can work this out in your head.
Another good tip is to ignore the .99 price and take the price as £8. That way dividing by 5 becomes easier, and you can take 1p off when you have an answer.
For 25% off, that's half and half again taken off, so for £8, half is £4, half again is £2, so you pay £6.
Failing that, the sales staff should be used to calculating the discounts so you can always ask. I used to sell jewellery and got questions about the discounts all the time, which was fine. |

You would take the price (7.99) and divide it by 100. Then, multiply that by (100-%) to get the price. Hope this helps, and hope you find those bargains! |

If it says 20% of marked price (say 7.99)
What you do is:
OrigPrice* (100-DiscontPercentage)/100
7.99 * (100-20)/100 = 6.39
You could do it in one step if you know how to use your mobile's calculator.
Or in 3 steps:
1) Subtract Percantage Off from 100 (in this case; 100-20 = 80)
2) Divide result by 100 (in this case; 80/100 = 0.8)
3) Multiply the result with price (in this case; 7.99*0.8=6.39) |

just type the amount of the price....eg...$50...just simply multiply it by .60 if you want ot get the 60 percent...just put a point before the discount percent..
$50x .10(less 10%)
$50 x . 20( less 20 %)
and up to . 100 for less 100% |

it will work out at 1.58
10% of 7.99 = 079p so x that by 2 = 1.58 |

20% off = 80% to pay, 80% = .8 (1 = 100%)
-20% x7.99 =
80% x 7.99 =
.8 x 7.99 |
