Directions

When you're shopping, you'll often have to calculate sales and discounts. For example, an $80 microwave is marked down 25%. To determine your savings, you'll need to calculate 25% of $80. Here's how:

  1. Convert 25% to a decimal: 25% = .25
  2. Multiply 0.25 by $80: 0.25 × 80 = $20. 25% of $80 is $20

25% of $80 is $20.
