percentage off

Partial cost removed

Percentage off indicates a discount expressed as a fraction of the original price: 20 percent off, 50% off.

The phrase appears constantly in retail and advertising to signal savings.

Everything in the store is 30 percent off this weekend.

The discount is calculated by multiplying the original price by the percentage, then subtracting that amount.
