What is discount?

A discount is when you get something for less money than it usually costs.

Imagine you want to buy a toy that normally costs 10 coins. But one day, the store says, "Today only, this toy is on sale!" That means you can get it for just 7 coins. The difference, 3 coins, is the discount. It's like getting extra coins in your pocket without even trying.

When a shop gives a discount, they're lowering the price of something so more people will buy it. Sometimes, they do this to get rid of old items or because they want to celebrate a special day, like a birthday or a holiday.

You can think of a discount as a friendly gift from the store. It’s not magic, it's just math! If you know how much something costs normally and how much it costs on sale, you can figure out how big the discount is.
