Maths help!

Hi chaps

Quick question, whilst ordering from recently hacked storage manufacturer I entered the 10% off discount code for June.

So product was £190.99

10% off was £36.28

Total to pay was £154.71

Any idea how 36.28 is 10% of 190.99?

Has maths changed since I was a lad...

Typo on their side ? That's a 19% discount - and the digits 9 and 0 are next to each other on a keyboard when you're not using the numeric keypad.

Take it and run

There's been glitches in the past where discounted products are further discounted based on the ORIGINAL price rather than the already discounted one. Could it be that?

I may have made use of this on the Dell site at one point..

It is a bit odd, maybe a typo as suggested earlier, anyway, I placed my order and haven't had an email asking for more money yet so happy to accept the fine discount offered

It's not 10% it's 19%

That's then 20% not 19%.

10% applied then another 10% applied.

190.99	0.1	19.099
171.891	0.1	17.1891
154.7019

190.99

154.71

36.28

0.189958

36.29

No, 10% applied twice

190.99x0.9=171.89

171.89x0.9=154.70

190.99-154.7=36.29
