Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate a percentage discount?
Multiply the price by the discount percentage divided by 100, then subtract that from the original price.
Can I apply two discounts in a row?
Yes, but they do not add up. A second discount applies to the already reduced price, so 20% then 10% is a 28% total discount, not 30%.
