Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate discount percentage?▼
To calculate discount percentage: (Discount Amount ÷ Original Price) × 100 = Discount Percentage. For example, if an item was $100 and is now $75, the discount is ($25 ÷ $100) × 100 = 25%.
What does 'buy one get one 50% off' mean?▼
This means you pay full price for the first item and get 50% off the second item. For two identical items, you're effectively getting 25% off the total (paying 75% of the combined original price).
Can I combine multiple discounts?▼
This depends on the store's policy. Some allow stacking coupons and sales, while others don't. When discounts are combined, they're usually applied sequentially, not added together. A 20% discount followed by a 10% discount equals 28% off, not 30%.
What's the difference between discount and markup?▼
Discount reduces the price from the original (e.g., 20% off means you pay 80%). Markup increases the price from cost (e.g., 20% markup on $100 cost = $120 selling price). They're inverse operations.
