What is 85 percent off (discount) 720?


What is the value of percentage decrease?



Are you looking to brush up on your math skills or are you just looking to maximize your shopping experience? Having a good understanding of percentages, particularly when it comes to discounting, is essential. Let’s take a closer look at How to Calculate Discounts Using Percentages with a Simple Example: What Is 85% off 720?

Step 1: Understand the Formula

What is a discount? A discount is a price reduction, expressed as a percentage. The formula to calculate a discount is:

Discounted Price = Original Price ( Percentage 100 × Original Price )

Step 2: Plug in the Values

For the sake of simplicity, we are going to use the following values for our example:

  • Original Price ( b ): 720
  • Percentage ( a ): 85%

Step 3: Apply the Formula

Let's now enter these numbers into our formula:

x = 720 ( 85 100 × 720 )

Step 4: Simplify the Equation

x = 720 ( 0.85 × 720 )
x = 720 612
x = 108

Step 5: Interpret the Result

A 85% reduction from 720 would therefore be 108. This implies that after the discount, you would spend 108 for an item that originally cost 720.

Not only can you make better shopping judgments when you know how to calculate discounts and understand percentages, but you can also get better at math overall. To get better at using these formulas, practice applying them to different situations. Cheers to your calculations!
