Let x equal the original price. Let's say the sale is 25 percent off. That means that 0.75x = the sale price.

Example: You bought an item for 48.00 that was marked as being 20 percent off the original price. The original price was 48.00 divided by 0.80 or 60.00
How do you find the original price of an item that gives the discount?
Say you buy an item which costs 35.50 after a 22% discount is applied. - This means that the item only costs 78% of the original price (100% - 22% = 78%). - So, to find 1% of the original price, you can divide the discounted price by the percent of the original price it represents. So: 35.50/78 = 0.45512821 . B / ((B/A) x 100) = .01A - If this number represents 1% of the original price, than multiplying it by 100 will give you the full amount of the original price. So: 0.45512821 x 100 = 45.51. .01A x 100 = 1A You can then check your answer by two methods: - If the original price is 45.51, then you can find 78% of that number by multiplying it by .78: 45.51 x .78 = 35.50. A x (B/A) = B - Or, you can find 22% of 45.51 by multiplying it by .22: 45.51 x .22 = 10.01. A(1 - (B/A)) = C - Then, you can subtract 10.01 (the amount taken off of the original price as a discount) from the original price to find the discounted price. 45.51 - 10.01 = 35.50. A - C = B
