FAQs on Percent-off

What's 5 percent-off $100?

Replacing the given values in formula (a) we have:

Amount Saved = Original Price x Discount in Percent / 100. So,

Amount Saved = 100 x 5 / 100

Amount Saved = 500 / 100

Amount Saved = $5 (answer).

In other words, a 5% discount for an item with an original price of $100 is equal to $5 (Amount Saved).

Note that to find the amount saved, just multiply it by the percentage and divide by 100.

What's the final price of an item of $100 when discounted $5?

Using the formula (b) and replacing the given values:

Sale Price = Original Price - Amount Saved. So,

Sale Price = 100 - 5

Sale Price = $95 (answer).

This means the cost of the item to you is $95.

You will pay $95 for an item with an original price of $100 when discounted 5%.

In this example, if you buy an item at $100 with 5% discount, you will pay 100 - 5 = 95 dollars.

5 is what percent off 100 dollars?

Using the formula (b) and replacing given values:

Amount Saved = Original Price x Discount in Percent /100. So,

5 = 100 x Discount in Percent / 100

5 / 100 = Discount in Percent /100

100 x 5 / 100 = Discount in Percent

500 / 100 = Discount in Percent, or

Discount in Percent = 5 (answer).
