How to figure out a 1 percent discount on 500 - Step-by-Step
Problem: Calculate the exact sale price of an item originally priced at $500.00 and now has a 0.01% discount. See, below, how to solve it in three steps.
Step 1 - Convert the percentage discount to a decimal
Imagine the percent number with a decimal to the right of the last digit, then, move the decimal point two places to the left.
1% = 1.00% = 0.01
Step 2 - Multiply the price before the discount by the decimal
You will find the discount, or what value is being taken off the price before the discount. You can use a calculator to do it.
500.00 × 0.01 = 5.00 (discount)
Step 3 - Subtract the discount from the price before the discount
Subtracting the discount from the price before the discount will give you the sale price of the item. So,
500.00 - 5.00 = 495.00 (discount savings amount)
