1. What is the Original Price After Discount?

This calculator determines the original price of an item before a discount was applied, based on the discounted price and the percentage discount.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• Original — The price before discount (USD)
• After — The price after discount (USD)
• % — The discount percentage applied

Explanation: The formula reverses the discount calculation to find the original price before the percentage reduction was applied.

3. Importance of Original Price Calculation

Details: Knowing the original price helps consumers understand the true value of a discount and compare deals more effectively.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the discounted price in USD and the discount percentage (0-99.99%). Both values must be positive numbers, with discount less than 100%.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why can't I enter 100% discount?
A: A 100% discount would make the after price zero, and the original price cannot be determined from this information.

Q2: Does this work for multiple discounts?
A: No, this calculates for a single discount percentage. For multiple discounts, you would need to know each discount amount separately.

Q3: Can I use this for price increases instead of discounts?
A: Yes, you can use negative discount percentages to calculate original prices before markups.

Q4: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise for single percentage discounts.

Q5: Does this account for taxes or other fees?
A: No, this calculates only the base price before discount. Taxes or additional fees would need to be calculated separately.
