It gives you the number of product units you get per dollar spent.
Discount divided by original price gives you a decimal which you then multiply by 100. This equals percent of discount Eg: $15 discount, $80 original price 15 / 80 = 0.1875 x 100 = 18.75%
Cost price divided by selling price then multiply by 100 Eg. Cost price £5 divided by selling price £20 equals £0.25, multiplied by 100 equals 25%
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.
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
$44. Solve by dividing $55 by 1.25.
Dividing the units by price will give you the number of units that each cent or dollar will buy. In comparing prices, this is less useful than determining unit price.
You calculate the arc elasticity of a commodity by dividing the change in demand by the average price, and then dividing that answer by the change in price divided by the average demand. So you will have (change in demand/average price)/(change in price/average demand).
You seem to be saying that 15% off gives a discounted price of 680, and asking what the original price was before the discount. Since the price was discounted by 15%, the discounted price is 85% of the original price. Dividing 680 by 0.85 gives 800 as the original price.
Dividing the change in demand for the product by its change in price. e=(change in demand)%/(change in price)%
by dividing current year price to base year price
The gross profit percentage is calculated by finding the difference between the selling price and the cost price, dividing it by the cost price, and then multiplying by 100%. In this case, the gross profit is 2.20 - 1.65 = 0.55. Dividing this by the cost price of 1.65 gives 0.3333. Multiplying by 100% gives a gross profit percentage of 33.33%.
$67. Arithmetic will solve this. x-x*0.2 = 53.6, where x is the original sale price. Simplifying gives x*(1-0.2) - 53.6 or x*(0.8) = 53.6. Dividing the 0.8 through gives x = 67. Finding a reduced price is simply subtracting the original price multiplied by the discount (in fraction form from the original price.
By multiplying and dividing the numbers all together
you find out the unit price by dividing the actual price into the measurement that is given. after you found that you have to move the decimal 2 times to the right, then you get the answer
Discount divided by original price gives you a decimal which you then multiply by 100. This equals percent of discount Eg: $15 discount, $80 original price 15 / 80 = 0.1875 x 100 = 18.75%
Cost price divided by selling price then multiply by 100 Eg. Cost price £5 divided by selling price £20 equals £0.25, multiplied by 100 equals 25%
Multiplied the price by the percentage and divided the answer by 100.
