Discount = Original Price × Discount % / 100

Discount = 18.00 × 20/100

Discount = 18.00 × 0.20

You save = $3.60

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 :

18.00 times 20 divided by 100 =

18.00 × 20 / 100 = 18.00 × 0.20 = 3.60 (This is the discount).

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

18.00 minus 3.60 = 18.00 - 3.60 = 14.40.

So, an item that costs 18.00, when discounted 20 percent, will have the final price equal to 14.40.
