How Much Is 10% Off?

[Guest love_able]

i want to buy this clothes and since i did the survery of the service i had, i got 10% off, of my next purchases..

how much is 10 percent off???

one of my friend said it was like 10 dollar off, but it can't be THAT much.. or does it depend on the price.. and if it is, it's like 69.99 ..

[Guest xl0v3juicy]

10% off the PRICE. Thats about $70, so $7 off.

[Guest Justalilodreamer]

i suck at percentages too but it depends on the price and its definitely not 10 dollars off (unless your friend was talking about 10% from 69.99) i think its around 7 dollar something off

[Guest michelle*]

It's $10 off if your purchase if you're spending $100.

(10% of $100 is $10, :])

It's just math, really.

[Guest mnmadi]

price - (0.1 * price) = sale price

69.99 - (0.1 * 69.99) = 69.99 - 6.99 = 63

Haa I can't do percentage easily too, so I bring my other love around in my purse. *clutches her calculator to her heart* Oh baby, I'll never leave you home alone again.

EDIT: But yeah.. 10% is pretty easy.. -__-;

[Guest pprMNTE]

10% off is 10% off whatever you're buying. So if you're buying something thats $15.00, that means you're getting $1.50 off. If you're buying something that's $10, that's $1 off.

How old are you? How can you NOT know how much is 10% unless you're in elementary school.

Sorry, didn't mean to sound harsh. Just such a dumb question. Just take your calculator.

[Guest remmy]

to calculate percentage you take .1 (which is the decimal form of 10%) multiply it by the price. then subtract your total from the original price.

69.99 - (0.1 * 69.99) = 69.99 - 6.99 = 63

[Guest Justalilodreamer]

oh yea and also an easier trick. you can just move the decimal one space to your left so if its 40.00 its like 4.00

lol i was thinking the same thing

[Guest flyaway]

the exact price will be original price * 90% (.9)=exact price with 10% discount

$79.99 w/ 10% off = 79.99 minus $7.99

agree w/ 4ever_sweet

[Guest sphynkter]

it's like some of you didn't even go to school.

10% = 10/100

10/100 = 0.1

10% of $70 = $70 x 0.1 = $7

now, here's a little workout for your brain. try to see if you can calculate what 20% of $50 is.

[beckii]

yeah its just....simple math...O_0 honestly!

[sujeans]

no not really. its only 1/10 of your total price.

[Guest Batgirl]

since its just 10%, just move the decimal over one place to the left. That is your discount taken out of the original price

[moon-flower]

take your price x it by your percent off = the discount

take your price - the discount = your final price.

make life easier, bring a calculator

[Guest chickery]

^

make life easier by learning basic math.

Sorry, I find this topic completely ridiculous -_-

[Guest sundubu <3]

there's really no need to bring a calculator.. like someone already mentioned, just move the decimal over one place to the left.

i.e. 10% of $50 = $5

i.e. 10% of $25 = $2.50.

if you want to figure out say, 20%, just double whatever 10% of the price is i.e. 20% of $25 = 2 X $2.50 = $5.
