Frequently Asked Questions

How to calculate a 20% off discount?

Multiply the original price by 0.20 to find the savings amount. Subtract this figure from the original price to get the final cost. For example, on a $100 item: $100 × 0.20 = $20 off, resulting in a sale price of $80.

How to find the original price of a discounted item?

Divide the sale price by the result of 1 minus the discount rate (in decimal form). If you paid $80 with a 20% discount: $80 ÷ (1 - 0.20) = $80 ÷ 0.80 = $100.

How to calculate percent off?

Subtract the sale price from the original price to find the savings. Divide the savings by the original price, then multiply by 100. Example: ($100 - $75) ÷ $100 × 100 = 25% off.

What is 30% off $50?

The discount is $15 ($50 × 0.30). The final sale price is $35. This calculation shows you exactly how much cash you keep in your pocket.

How can I calculate the discount rate?

Find the difference between the original and sale prices. Divide that difference by the original price and multiply by 100 to get the percentage rate.
