Mathematics – Meaning of “From 30% Off”

mathematicsmeaning

"Shop everything you need for fashion – from 30% off"

This is a banner. Does "from 30% off" mean the discount rate starts from 30%?
Or does this mean "products from 30% off", which means products with 30% discounted price?

Best Answer

Advertisements, especially the ones for discounts, are usually made to be misleading, tricking the honest customer's mind.

Have in mind the usual:

Discounts up to 80%!!

What does that mean? That you can buy anything for 80% discount? Form my experience, it always means that there is a piece of rag with a discount of 80%, and everything else is pretty much not discounted. Or discounted 2%-5%.


Therefore, this:

"Shop everything you need for fashion - from 30% off"

can mean anything that the shop wants it to mean.
