If the discount is D percent and the sale price is S, then the original price was
S*100/(100-D)
To find the discount rate, subtract the sales price from the original price to determine the discount amount. Then, divide the discount amount by the original price. Finally, multiply the result by 100 to convert it into a percentage. The formula can be summarized as: Discount Rate (%) = [(Original Price - Sales Price) / Original Price] × 100.
Take the amount saved, divide it by discount percentage then multiply the result by 100.
If you have only the sale price you cannot find the original price. You need to know the discount rate.
To calculate a 20% discount on a price of $18.50, you first convert 20% to a decimal by dividing by 100, which gives you 0.20. Then, you multiply the price by the decimal to find the discount amount: $18.50 x 0.20 = $3.70. Finally, subtract the discount amount from the original price to find the discounted price: $18.50 - $3.70 = $14.80.
To find the discounted price, first calculate the discount amount by multiplying the original price of $1.80 by 15% (0.15): [ 1.80 \times 0.15 = 0.27. ] Subtract the discount from the original price: [ 1.80 - 0.27 = 1.53. ] Thus, the discounted price is $1.53.
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)
Discount = Original Price - Discounted Price Percentage Discount = 100* Discount / Original Price
Discount = Original Price minus Sale price.
Take the amount saved, divide it by discount percentage then multiply the result by 100.
Percentage discount = 100*(1 - sale price/original price)
To calculate the percentage discount, first find the difference between the original price and the final price: 16.95 - 15.96 = 0.99. Then, divide the discount amount by the original price and multiply by 100 to get the percentage discount: (0.99 / 16.95) * 100 ≈ 5.84%.
The name of the amount of money you save when you buy an item at a discounted price is called the difference of the original price. To find the difference, you simply subtract the discount price from the original price and that total is the amount of money you saved, the difference.
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 you have only the sale price you cannot find the original price. You need to know the discount rate.
