A store is currently offering a 60% discount on all items purchased. Your cashier is trying to convince you to open a store credit card and says to you, “ In addition to the 60% discount you are receiving for purchasing these items on sale today you will get an additional 20% off for opening a credit card account. That means you are getting 80% off!

If we were getting 60% discount early and then again we are receiving 20% discount for using credit card then it means that we are getting 80% discount.

What is discount?

Discount means the amount which is deducted by sellers from the amount to be payable by buyers.

How to calculate discount?

Let the total price to be paid by us to store is $100.

Discount received because on purchase on sale day=100*60%

=60

Discount received due to use of credit card=100*20%

=20

Total discount received from store=60+20

=80

Percentage=80/100*100

=80%

Hence the total discount received by us from store is 80%.
