YOGYAKARTA Knowing how to calculate a discount allows you to find the original price of a product. That way, you can save the amount of money you want to spend.
Online and offline shopping services usually offer a variety of discounts at certain times, for example on Independence Day (HUT), Eid al-Fitr, national online shopping day (harbolnas) and so on.
The discount strategy is used to attract potential consumers, ranging from discounted price discounts, free voucher packages for shipping fees, to various other types of discounts.
However, of the many types of discounts, most sellers offer discounts in percent form. The bigger the percentage discount, the greater the interest of people.
So, how to calculate the discount given by the seller?
Quoted by VOI from Omnisicalcultor, Saturday, December 10, 2022, here's how to calculate the discounts you need to know:
In general, the formula for calculating price discounts in percent form is:
Examples:
A child's shirt at Mall A is sold for IDR 200,000. However, because it is coincident with a national online shopping day, the price of clothes is discounted at 20 percent.
So, how much does it cost to pay to buy one child's shirt after getting a discount?
Answer:
The first step is to first determine the discount value in the form of a nominal price.
Discount = Percent Discount X Original Price
Discount = 20 percent X IDR 200,000
Discount = IDR 40,000
Next, use the next formula
Discount Price = Original Price Discount
Discount Price = IDR 200,000-IDR 40,000
Discount Price = IDR 160.000
So buyers only need to pay Rp160,000 to buy their children's clothes after getting a 20 percent discount from the store.
How to Calculat Discounts byranging the percentage of discounted prices
How to calculate the second discount can be done by only direct disbursement of the percent discount obtained, then multiplied by the initial price of goods, as quoted from the Gramedia page.
The formula for calculating the discount is as follows:
Discount Price = (100% - Percent Discount) X Original Price
Examples:
A child's toy at a mall B is sold for IDR 300,000, however, because it coincides with National Children's Day, the store provides a 30 percent discount. How much money consumers have to spend to buy the toy?
Answer
Discount Price = (100% - 30%) X IDR 300,000
Discount Price = IDR 210,000
So, the final price or discount price that must be paid to buy children's toys is IDR 210,000.
How to Count Leveld Discounts
This method is used to calculate the final price which gets a multilevel discount or double price discount, for example 40% + 20%.
If the form of promotion is like above, it means the discount given twice. How to calculate it is to find out first the value of the percentage of the first discount. After that, the value was multiplied again by the percentage of the second discount.
The formula is like below.
First Discount Price = First Discount Percent x Original Price
Final Discount Price = Second Discount Percent x First Discount Price
Examples:
A long-sleeved shirt sold at mall C, sold for IDR 400,000. However, as it approaches Eid al-Fitr, the shirt is discounted at 40% + 20%. So, what is the final discount that buyers have to pay?
Answer:
The first step that must be taken is to find a year's price from the first discount.
First Discount Price = (100%-40%) X IDR 400,000
First Discount Price = IDR 240,000
Next, calculate the final discount price, aka the selling price
Final Discount Price = (100%-20%) X IDR 240,000
Final Discount Price = IDR 192,000
So, after getting a 40% + 20% discount, the final price of the shirt is IDR 192,000
That's the information on how to calculate discounts. Hopefully it will be useful!
