How do you find the discount knowing only the discounted price and original price?
Discount = Original Price - Discounted Price Percentage Discount = 100* Discount / Original Price
How do you find the discount if you have the original price and the sale price?
Discount = Original Price minus Sale price.
How do you find the original price of discounted item?
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)
How do you find the discount?
Convert the discount into a decimal equivalent by removing the percent sign and placing the decimal 2 places to the left of the number in front of the percent sign. (25% = .25; 5% = .05, etc.). Then multiply the number that you want to find the discount for by the decimal equivalent. Example: to find how much 250 with a 15% discount is, multiply 250 x .15 (250 x .15 = 37.50).
How do you find the percent of discount if you know the original price in the sale price?
Percentage discount = 100*(1 - sale price/original price)
