If you make a 25% of discount how much money do you subtract?

Lets say u want an item that originally cost $ 50 ... and u get a 25% discount ... then u are actually subtracting 25% of the original price.

25% of 50 ... turn the percent to a decimal ... " of " means multiply

0.25 * 50 = 12.50 ... so u would be subtracting 12.50 from $ 50 for the discounted price which is (50 - 12.5) = 37.5

here is another example ...

u want an item that costs $ 90 ... and it is 25% off ... so u would be subtracting (25% of 90) ... u would be subtracting (0.25 * 90) = 22.50 from the original price to arrive at the discounted price.

90 - 22.50 = 67.50 ... the discounted price

But let me show u something ... taking 25% off is the same as paying 75% ...

so lets say u want an item that costs $ 60 ... and u get a 25% discount ... this means u r actually paying 75% ... ur paying 75% of 60.

0.75 * 60 = $ 45 ... this is what u r paying ... no need for subtracting
