There are two ways - that are essentially the same.
Method I: Subtract the percentage from 100. Multiply this number by the original price and divide by 100.
Method II: Multiply the original price by the percentage and divide by 100. Subtract the result from the original price.
For example, original price = 300, and you want 15% less.
Method I: 15% from 100% = 85%
300*85/100 = 255
Method II: 15% of 300 = 300*15/100 = 45
300 - 45 = 255.
So, subtract first and then multiply or multiply first and then subtract. The choice is yours.

How do you figure out a problem that wants to know the original price and gives you the amount of discount?
Let x equal the original price. Let's say the sale is 25 percent off. That means that 0.75x = the sale price. To find the original price, divide the sale price by the decimal equivalent of 100 minus the discount. 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
