Discount Calculation Formulas
Basic Percentage Discount
Formula: Final Price = Original Price - (Original Price × Discount % ÷ 100)
Example: $100 - ($100 × 20 ÷ 100) = $100 - $20 = $80
Find Original Price from Discounted Price
Formula: Original Price = Final Price ÷ (1 - Discount % ÷ 100)
Example: $80 ÷ (1 - 20 ÷ 100) = $80 ÷ 0.8 = $100
Calculate Discount Percentage
Formula: Discount % = ((Original Price - Final Price) ÷ Original Price) × 100
Example: (($100 - $80) ÷ $100) × 100 = 20%
