The answer will depend on what information you do have.
The original price was $104.00
Discount = Original Price - Discounted Price Percentage Discount = 100* Discount / Original Price
Discount = Original Price minus Sale price.
Percentage discount = 100*(1 - sale price/original price)
You're asking how to calculate the final sale price of a discounted good. The formula is: Original Price - (Original Price * Discount Rate). As an example, let's say a laptop is priced at $499.99 and the store is offering a 10% discount. Our equation would look like: $499.99 - (499.99 x 0.10) = 449.99.
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)
If you have only the sale price you cannot find the original price. You need to know the discount rate.
If the discounted price is $35, then you must reverse the process to find the original price. The original price would be 38.99 dollars.
If the discount is D percent and the sale price is S, then the original price was S*100/(100-D)
If you are asking about a sale where prices are discounted. Multiply the percentage (X percent as X divide 100) by the original amount to find . To find the new price, subtract the discount amount from the original price.
Original Price = Total / (1 + Tax)
Original Price = Discounted price*100/(100-discount rate) = 3209*100/(100-37) = 3209*100/63 = 5093.65
