Interpretation guide
| You know | Find |
|---|---|
| Price & % off | Sale = price x (1 - %/100) |
| Price & sale price | % off = (price - sale) / price x 100 |
| Sale price & % off | Original = sale / (1 - %/100) |
| Amount saved | Save = price x %/100 |
Formula & methodology
Formula: Sale price = Original x (1 - percent off / 100); Percent off = (Original - Sale) / Original x 100
How a percent-off discount works
A discount reduces the price by a percentage of the original. The fraction you actually pay is (1 - percent/100).
Example
A $120 pair of shoes is 35% off. Amount saved = 120 x 0.35 = $42. Sale price = 120 - 42 = $78, or directly 120 x 0.65 = $78.
To reverse-engineer a hidden discount, divide the difference by the original: if a $120 item now costs $78, the discount is (120 - 78) / 120 = 35% off.
