The season of bumper discount sales is going on on e-commerce platforms and discount offers are seen everywhere. Regarding this, you are also getting to see advertisements related to the sale on every public place like social media, TV channels, metro stations, etc. In these advertisements, you must be seeing terms like flat, up to, and many times. These are the words that attract the customer. When the customer sees the advertisement, he feels that he is getting a lot of discounts, and often people get confused about these three types of discounts. If you also do not know about flats, up to and discounts, then this news is for you only. Let us know in detail in this article...

What is the flat discount?

A flat discount means that you will get a fixed percentage discount on any product. Suppose there is a flat discount of 40% on a product, then you will get a discount of 40% on the price of that product.

Let's understand this with an example, if a product is worth Rs 1000 and there is a flat discount of 40% on it, it means 40% of Rs 1000 i.e. Rs 400 is discounted, in such a case you will get that product for Rs 600.

Up to discount

Often people are confused about the Upto discount as well. Up to discount means that you can get a maximum discount of a certain percentage. For example, if there is an up to discount of 50% on a product, then you can get a maximum discount of 50%. With this discount, you may get only a 40% discount or less than that. In up to discount, companies can increase or decrease the percentage of discount according to their own.

Plus discount

Plus discount means that you will get more than one discount. But its math is a little different. For example, if there is a discount of 30+10% on a product, it means that you will first get a 30% discount on the product and then an additional 10% discount on the price after this discount.

Example
If the price of a shirt is Rs 100 and there is a discount of 30+10% on it, then first you will get a discount of 30% of 100 i.e. Rs 30. Now the price of the shirt is Rs 70. Now you will get another 10% discount on this Rs 70, i.e. 70-7= Rs 63. So you will get the shirt for Rs 63.
