How to calculate 60% off 40

  1. Find the discount: 60% of 40 = 0.6 × 40 = 24.
  2. Subtract it from the price: 40 − 24 = 16.

Or in one step, multiply by the share you pay: 40 × 0.4 = 16.

Stacked discounts do not add up: an extra 10% off the sale price gives 14.4, which is 64% off in total, not 70%.
