## Overview

10% off $50 leaves a sale price of $45.00, a saving of $5.00. Multiply the price by (1 − 0.10): 50 × 0.90 = 45. A 10% cut is the most common everyday coupon, and it is easy to estimate — just shift the decimal one place. Enter your own price below.

## Method

The sale price is the original price multiplied by each discount factor in turn: sale price = original × (1 − d1 ÷ 100) × (1 − d2 ÷ 100). The amount saved equals original minus sale price. The effective discount percentage is (1 − combined multiplier) × 100, which is always less than d1 + d2 when both are positive. Sales tax is then added to the discounted price: final = sale price × (1 + tax ÷ 100). If only one discount is entered the second factor is 1 and drops out of the calculation.
