How to work out 10% off $500
- Turn the discount into a decimal: 10 ÷ 100 = 0.1.
- Multiply by the price: 0.1 × $500 = $50 — that is the amount you save.
- Subtract the saving from the price: $500 − $50 = $450.
Mental-math shortcut: Drop the last digit (move the decimal one place left) to get the discount. (1% of $500 is $5, so 10% is $5 × 10 = $50.)
10% off $500 is a $50 saving, common on appliances, mattresses, and mid-range electronics during a sitewide sale. On bigger tickets the same easy mental math applies: drop a zero to get the discount, then subtract. Stacking a 10% code on top of an already-reduced price is where the real deals live — but many stores block that.

Method & sources
Saving = price × discount ÷ 100, and sale price = price − saving. Amounts are rounded to the cent only for display. Stacked discounts multiply rather than add — 20% off and then another 20% off is 36% off in total, not 40% — and sales tax, where it applies, is charged on the discounted price.
