Frequently Asked Questions
How do you calculate a percent off discount?
To calculate a percent off discount: 1) Multiply the original price by the discount percentage, 2) Divide by 100 to get the discount amount, 3) Subtract the discount amount from the original price to get the sale price. For example, 20% off $50: ($50 × 20) ÷ 100 = $10 discount, $50 - $10 = $40 sale price.
How do you calculate the original price if you know the sale price and discount percentage?
To find the original price from the sale price and discount percentage: Divide the sale price by (1 - discount percentage/100). For example, if an item costs $40 after a 20% discount: $40 ÷ (1 - 20/100) = $40 ÷ 0.8 = $50 original price.
