How Discount Calculations Work

Discount calculations are based on simple percentage math. The formula used is:

Discount Amount = Original Price × (Discount Percentage ÷ 100)
Final Price = Original Price - Discount Amount

For example, with an original price of $15 and a 40% discount:

Discount Amount = $15 × (40 ÷ 100) = $6
Final Price = $15 - $6 = $9

This means you save $6 and pay only $9 for the item.
