Percent

Hello,

I am doubting if I am using well the following sentences:
How much is the product discounted?
How much is the maximum discount that you can give me on the product
How much is the percent you can give me on the product?
You have to take out the 5% percent off the final price
You have to take out the 5% percent off of the final price
You have to take out the 5% percent from the final price
You have to take out the 5% percent out of the final price
Could you also use "to deduct" , "to take off" and "to discount" instead of "take out" in the sentences above?
Could you say discount an amount off something or would you use off of something, out of something or from something?

Many thanks again
