Discount Calculator
A discount calculator determines the final reduced sale price and total cash savings from any promotional percentage or coupon markdown. Using the formula Sale Price = Original × (1 - Discount%), it shows shoppers that purchasing an $80 item at 25% off costs $60 while saving $20.

Discount Questions and Answers
Stacked discounts apply consecutively, not additively. 20% off $100 leaves $80, and the extra 10% off applies to $80 ($8 savings), giving a final price of $72 (a total 28% discount, not 30%).
