Discount rate

The discount rate denotes the percentage by which the original price of a specific product is reduced. In sales, the discount rate is typically expressed as a percentage. For instance, if a product is advertised as "20% off ", the discount rate for that product is 20%. Offering discounts is among the simplest methods to acquire customers and market your store or products.
