How do you figure the how much percent was taken off the original price if you only have the original price and the sale price?

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.

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)
How do you figure out the original price if you have the current price and the amount of the discount?
Take the current price and add whatever the price that was subtracted off from the discount back to it and you will get the original price. If the current price of an item is $50 and had a 10% discount already taken off then dived 50 by 90% (50 / 0.9) which will give you $55.56 which is the original price before the discount. To check to make sure you did it correct take the original price, $55.56, and multiply it by 10% which will give you 55.56 * 0.1 = 5.56 and subtract that from the original; $55.56 - $5.56 = $50 which is the current price. If you have a calculator you can just enter $55.56 - 10% = $50 to check.
How do you find the original price of an item that gives the discount?
Say you buy an item which costs 35.50 after a 22% discount is applied. - This means that the item only costs 78% of the original price (100% - 22% = 78%). - So, to find 1% of the original price, you can divide the discounted price by the percent of the original price it represents. So: 35.50/78 = 0.45512821 . B / ((B/A) x 100) = .01A - If this number represents 1% of the original price, than multiplying it by 100 will give you the full amount of the original price. So: 0.45512821 x 100 = 45.51. .01A x 100 = 1A You can then check your answer by two methods: - If the original price is 45.51, then you can find 78% of that number by multiplying it by .78: 45.51 x .78 = 35.50. A x (B/A) = B - Or, you can find 22% of 45.51 by multiplying it by .22: 45.51 x .22 = 10.01. A(1 - (B/A)) = C - Then, you can subtract 10.01 (the amount taken off of the original price as a discount) from the original price to find the discounted price. 45.51 - 10.01 = 35.50. A - C = B

(15 x 0.75 = $11.25)

A 15 percent tip was taken out. the price is 26 how much would it be without the 15 percent?
This depends on what you mean by a tip was taken out, and the price is 26. If the base price (not counting the tip) is 26, the answer is 26. If you mean the price including the tip is 26, that means 115% of the base price is 26, so divide 26 by 1.15. The answer, rounded to 2 decimal places, is 22.61.
