How to work out 70% off $120
- Turn the discount into a decimal: 70 ÷ 100 = 0.7.
- Multiply by the price: 0.7 × $120 = $84 — that is the amount you save.
- Subtract the saving from the price: $120 − $84 = $36.
Mental-math shortcut: Pay 30% of the price (price × 0.3). (1% of $120 is $1.20, so 70% is $1.20 × 70 = $84.)

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.
