deduct the price vs deduce the price

The correct phrase is 'deduct the price.' 'Deduct' means to subtract or take away, which is the appropriate action when adjusting a price. On the other hand, 'deduce' means to infer or conclude something based on evidence or reasoning, which is not the correct term to use in the context of adjusting a price.
