subtract an amount from a total
To take an amount away from a larger number, often with money, costs, or points.
Brugsmønster:
to deduct [amount] from [total]
Typisk fejl:
Learners often confuse 'deduct' with 'deduce'. 'Deduct' means to subtract an amount, but 'deduce' means to reach a conclusion from information. Another common mistake is using the wrong preposition: it is usually 'deduct [amount] from [total]', not 'deduct from [amount]'. For example, say 'deduct $5 from the bill', not 'deduct from $5 the bill'.
Synonymer
subtract (More general and common in mathematics; not especially linked to money or business.)
|
take off (Informal; often used in everyday speech instead of the more formal-sounding 'deduct'.)
Antonymer
add (Opposite mathematical operation: to increase a total instead of taking an amount away.)
|
credit (In financial contexts, means to put money into an account, the opposite of taking it away.)
