How do you find the discount knowing only the discounted price and original price?
Discount = Original Price - Discounted Price Percentage Discount = 100* Discount / Original Price
How do you find the percent of discount if you know the original price in the sale price?
Percentage discount = 100*(1 - sale price/original price)
How do you find the original price of discounted item?
You need to know the discounted price and either the discount amount or the discount rate. If you know the discount amount: Original Price = Discounted Price + Discount If you know the Discount Rate (percentage discount ): Original Price = 100*Discounted Price / (100 - Discount Rate)
What is the retail price for, original price: $64; Markup: 15%?
First we have to find the markup amount, which is the original price times the markup percentage: $64 * 15% This is the same as: $64 * 0.15 = $9.60 Now we add the markup amount to the original price to get the retail price: $64 + $9.60 = $73.60 The retail price is $73.60
How do you find the discount if you have the original price and the sale price?
Discount = Original Price minus Sale price.
How do you find the discount knowing only the discounted price and original price?
Discount = Original Price - Discounted Price Percentage Discount = 100* Discount / Original Price
How do you find the percent of discount if you know the original price in the sale price?
Percentage discount = 100*(1 - sale price/original price)
When the discount percent is given with the amount saved how do you find the original price?
Take the amount saved, divide it by discount percentage then multiply the result by 100.
How do you find the sale price when given the original price and percentage off?
To take a percentage of a price, multiply the price by the decimal equivalent of the percentage, which is the percentage divided by 100. 25 percent of 15.00 = 15 x 0.25 = 3.75 To take a percentage off a price, you can either subtract that number from the original price (15.00 - 3.75 = 11.25) or multiply the original price by the decimal equivalent of 100 percent minus the discount. (15 x 0.75 = 11.25)
How do you find a percentage off if you have the original price and sale price?
Take the sale price from the original price. The difference is the discount. Calculate the discount as a percentage of the original price. This is the 'percentage off'. Example: Original price 100 verdibors Sale price 80 verdibors Discount = 100-80=20 verdibors. So percentage off is 20/100 = 20% ----------------------------------------------------- Calculating percentages: To convert fractions to percentages, multiply the top figure of the fraction by 100, then 'cancel down'. e.g. 1/4 ..... 1/4 x 100= 100/4 = 25 %
How do you write an equation to solve a percent problem?
The answer depends on what the percentage problem is. The equations will be different depending on whether you want to find:one number as a percentage of another,a given percentage of a number,the percentage change applied to a given number,find the original number if given the number after the percentage change.
The price of a cup of coffee has risen to 2.80 today Yesterday's price was 2.45 Find the percentage increase Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent?
first your subtract your original price from the new one to find the difference 2.80-2.45=.35 then divide your difference by the original price .35/2.45 = .1428571429 multiply the answer by 100 to get your percentage .1428571429x100=14.285... round it and you have your answer answer is 14%

How do you find percentage change in quantity demanded when only given original quantity?
you cannot. you need more info.
How do you find the original price of what you are paying for?
You check the price tag for the words original price.
How do you figure out the original price of something that you only know the ending total and the percentage off?
We're gonna tear this up. It's simple, but it will take a bit of patience, so buckle up. Ready? Let's go. You don't know the original price. You know the percent off. You know the sale price. We're in business. Let's hammer this thing. Here's how to work the problem....We don't know the original price, but we know that a percentage of it has been deducted from it (that original price) to give us a sale price, okay? Some percent off the original price is the sale price. Here's the trick. Look at the percent off. Now look at 100% minus the percent off. This new percentage represents how much of the original cost the final cost is. Got it? Another way to say that is that our new (calculated) percentage times the original price equals the sale price. Make sense? Let's pick something easy and give it a test drive.Say something costs $9 (that's the sale price), and it was marked down 10%. That means that the original cost minus 10% of the original cost is the final (the sale) price, or the $9. Now check this out. Focus. The discount was 10%, and another way to look at the problem is that the sale price is 100% -10% of the original price, which says that the sale price is 90% of that original price. Again, the sale price is 90% of the original price. See how that works? We use the discount (percentage) and make a calculation to find out how much of the original price the sale price is. We good? Super.As we now have a "new" set of facts to work with, that is, we have the sale price and the percentage of the original price that the sale price represents, we can go for it. The original price (the unknown) times the percentage of that original price that the sale price represents equals the sale price. Let's look at our example.The original price times the percentage of that price the sale price represents equals the sale price. Again, original price times that percentage we calculated equals the sale price. Now to do some math. If the original price times that new percentage equals the sale price, then the original price equals the sale price divided by the percentage. See what we did? We moved the percentage over to the other side of the equation. We divided both sides by the percentage, and it "dropped out" on the one side and appeared on the other. That's because we needed to isolate the original price (so we could solve for it using the other variables). In our example, the original price equals $9 (the sale price) divided by 90% (the percentage of the original price the sale price represents. $9 divided by 90% equals $9 divided by 0.9 which equals $10. The original price of the item was $10, and it was 10% off. The 10% of $10 equals $1, and the sale price is $10 minus $1 which equals $9. Our work checks.One more problem for fun to lock things in. At a 20% off sale, an item sells for $40 (its sale cost). What was its original cost? We know that the $40 represents 80% of the original price (100% -20%). The original price times the 80% equals $40. The original price equals $40 (the sale price) divided by the 80% (the percentage of the original price that the sale price represents). $40 divided by 80% equals $40 divided by 0.8 which equals $50. Our item's original price was $50. Last thing. $50 times 20% equals $10, and $50 minus $10 equals $40. Our work checks.We good? Excellent!I don't understandexplain more carefully
