Discount = Original Price × Discount % / 100

Discount = 50.00 × 5/100

Discount = 50.00 × 0.05

You save = $2.50

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 5 divided by 100 =

50.00 × 5 / 100 = 50.00 × 0.05 = 2.50 (This is the discount).

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

50.00 minus 2.50 = 50.00 - 2.50 = 47.50.

So, an item that costs 50.00, when discounted 5 percent, will have the final price equal to 47.50.
