    Ok, it's all pretty much like the "$50 coat is on sale for $35".

    If the regular price of the coat is $50 and now it is on sale for $35, then it will cost you $15 less, like this:

    $50 - $35 = $15

    You could also say the coat was discounted by $15, or the coat was reduced by $15, or you'll save $15 if you buy that coat ($50 - $15 = 35).

    You could also put it in terms of percentages. If the discount is $15, you can figure that $15 is what percent of the regular price, like this:

    $15 = X% of $50

    $15 = X% x $50 (divide both sides by 50 to isolate X)

    15/50 = X%

    .30 = X% (multiply by 100 to convert to a non-decimal)

    30% = X

    So, you can say all of the following and they all mean the same thing:

    1. the $50 coat is on sale for $35

    2. the $50 coat is discounted by $15

    3. the $50 coat is reduced by $15

    4. you'll save $15 if you buy this coat

    5. the $50 coat is on sale for 30% off

    6. the $50 coat is discounted by 30%

    7. you'll save 30% if you buy this coat

    8. 30% savings!

    9. Save 30%!

    30

    Step-by-step explanation:

    10% of 50 is 5 so it's 15 less than 50 which means you need to multply the percentage by three (30)
