20% Off 40

20% off 40 = 32 (you save 8)

How to calculate 20% off 40

  1. Find the discount: 20% of 40 = 0.2 × 40 = 8.
  2. Subtract it from the price: 40 − 8 = 32.

Or in one step, multiply by the share you pay: 40 × 0.8 = 32.

Stacked discounts do not add up: an extra 10% off the sale price gives 28.8, which is 28% off in total, not 30%.
