80% Off 500

80% off 500 = 100 (you save 400)

How to calculate 80% off 500

  1. Find the discount: 80% of 500 = 0.8 × 500 = 400.
  2. Subtract it from the price: 500 − 400 = 100.

Or in one step, multiply by the share you pay: 500 × 0.2 = 100.

Stacked discounts do not add up: an extra 10% off the sale price gives 90, which is 82% off in total, not 90%.
