Well, this is a quite confusing one because the expressions of discount in Chinese and English are exactly in the opposite ways. i.e “八折” means “20%off” "七折"means"30%off" "六折"means"40%off" ... Can this help you ? ... ..........

中文里面打八折就是说打八折，但是一般中文翻译为英文的时候就说：i will give you a 20% discount.

八折 means 80% of the original price (20% off) 七折 means 70% of the original price (30% off) And so on...
