Answer:
Discount means that when you buy something, for some reason (there may be several) you pay less than the "official" price. One of the reasons may be a discount for a bulk purchase. For example, the regular price of an item might be 50.00, but because you buy several items, they will sell it to you for 47.00 each. In this case, you get a DISCOUNT (a price reduction) of 3.00 per item. Discounts may be specified for individual items, or for the entire invoice.
