40% Off 40

40% off 40 = 24 (you save 16)

How to calculate 40% off 40

  1. Find the discount: 40% of 40 = 0.4 × 40 = 16.
  2. Subtract it from the price: 40 − 16 = 24.

Or in one step, multiply by the share you pay: 40 × 0.6 = 24.

Stacked discounts do not add up: an extra 10% off the sale price gives 21.6, which is 46% off in total, not 50%.
