Sale price/original price will give you a fraction. The fraction x100 gives you the percentage that the sale price is of the original price.100-(that percentage) gives the percent taken off.
If the discount is D percent and the sale price is S, then the original price was S*100/(100-D)
Designate the original price as p. Then, from the problem statement, 80 % of p = 12590; p = 12590/0.80 = 15738. (If "20 percent" is considered to have only two significant digits, this should be written as "1.6 X 104 instead.)
308.57Another answer:If the item was a 70% reduction then you paid only 30% of its original price.To find the original price divide 216 by 30 and then multiply by 100(216/30)*100 = 720The original price was 720
If you have only the sale price you cannot find the original price. You need to know the discount rate.

If Greg got a 30% discount, he paid 70% of the original price- if they only ask for the percentage of the original price, the actual original price is irrelevant.
If the discount is D percent and the sale price is S, then the original price was S*100/(100-D)

Discount = Original Price - Discounted Price Percentage Discount = 100* Discount / Original Price
If you "save" 23%, that means you pay (100 - 23) = 77%. 77% = 0.77 0.77 x (original price) = 18.50 Original price = 18.50 / 0.77 = 24.03
10% 45/50 = 90/100 = 90 percent. This means that the video game now only is worth 90 percent of the original price, which means that (100 - 90 %)= 10 % of the price has dropped.
Example- Discount Price= $22.80 Percent/ Discounted Price= 40% Find out first how much 40% from 100% is? = 60% Formula- $22.80 x 100/60 = $38.00
If you got 20% discount then you paid 80% of the full price. If 120 is 80% then 100% is 150 ie 120 x 100/80
