What is 50% off $80?

How it's calculated

1. Find the discount: 50% of $80 = $80 × 0.5 = $40.00
2. Subtract it from the price: $80 − $40.00 = $40.00

Shortcut: with 50% off you pay 50% of the price, so multiply $80 × 0.5 = $40.00 in one step.

Sales tax, if any, is usually added after the discount and isn't included here.
