Divide sale price by full price. Example: item is $30 but is on sale for $15. 15/30=50%, so the item is 50% off

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

What I do is organize it as follows...

Cost Price = 100% $27 = 100 + 10 l l \/ Cost Price = 100% $27 = 110% Then you do ($27 x 100%) / 110 to get $24.55. That means that the Cost price is $24.55

How do you find the original price when you know the percent of increase?
Okay. If you have the percent increace, you cannot find the original price. BUT if you have the percent increace and the INCREACED PRICE than you take 100 and minus the percent increace and then divide adapted price by that number. than times THAT by 100. (EX. 75% INCREACE AND ENDING PRICE 15$) ( THAN 100-75=25 SO 15X25=375 THAN 375DIVIDEDBY100=3.75 3.75 ORIGINAL.
What is 15 percent off 299.00?
To solve a problem like this, you would first figure out how many percent is left for you to pay after 15% is taken out of the price. So, subtract 15% from 100%. 100-15=85%. Then you change the percentage you still have to pay to decimal form: 85% = .85 Then you multiply the decimal times the original price: .85 x 299.00 = (I'll let you do the math now that you know how)
