I am having an issue with figuring out a percentage and total cost of an item. In the example below I have 10 gift cards, the first has a face value of $120, I got it for free (Paid), the difference between is $120 giving me a 100% discount and so on. It gets hazy for me when we get down to the $189 gift card, is the percentage (saved) correct for those 4 that I paid for? and is the total percentage of 95.31% correct for all the gift cards added together? Would the total cost of the item ($999.99) be a savings of 95.31%? and what would be my cost of the item? With these numbers it looks like the $999.99 item would cost only $346.91 or 34.69%???? I hope I explained this right, if anyone could help it would be much appreciated. Sory about the formatting issue, it should look like a table.
