Discount = Original Price × Discount % / 100

Discount = 50.00 × 15/100

Discount = 50.00 × 0.15

You save = $7.50

You can easily calculate the discount or percent-off and the final or Final Price of an item by following these steps:

1. Multiply the original price by the discount percentage, then divide it by 100 :

50.00 times 15 divided by 100 =

50.00 × 15 / 100 = 50.00 × 0.15 = 7.50 (This is the discount).

2. Subtract the discount (percent-off) from the original price to get the final price:

50.00 minus 7.50 = 50.00 - 7.50 = 42.50.

So, an item that costs 50.00, when discounted 15 percent, will have the final price equal to 42.50.
