How to calculate 3 Percent-off

Now, let's solve the questions stated above:

1) What is 3 percent off $17? Find the amount of discount.

Suppose you have a Kohls coupon of $17 and you want to know how much you will save for an item if the discount is 3 percent.

Solution:

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

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

Amount Saved = 17 x 3 / 100
Amount Saved = 51 / 100
Amount Saved = $0.51 (answer).

In other words, a 3% discount for a item with original price of $17 is equal to $0.51 (Amount Saved).

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

2) How much to pay for an item of $17 when discounted 3 percent (%)? What is item's sale price?

Suppose you have a L.L. Bean coupon of $17 and you want to know the final or sale price if the discount is 3 percent.

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

Sale Price = Original Price - Amount Saved. So,

Sale Price = 17 - 0.51

Sale Price = $16.49 (answer).

This means the cost of the item to you is $16.49.

You will pay $16.49 for a item with original price of $17 when discounted 3%.

In this example, if you buy an item at $17 with 3% discount, you will pay 17 - 0.51 = 16.49 dollars.

3) 0.51 is what percent off 17 dollars?

Using the formula (b) and replacing given values:

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

0.51 = 17 x Discount in Percent / 100
0.51 / 17 = Discount in Percent /100
100 x 0.51 / 17 = Discount in Percent
51 / 17 = Discount in Percent, or

Discount in Percent = 3 (answer).
