1. What is the Original Price Formula?

The Original Price Formula calculates the price before a discount was applied, based on the discounted price and the percentage discount. This is useful for understanding the true value of a sale or discount offer.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the original price formula:

Where:

• \( Discounted \) — The sale or discounted price (USD)
• \( \% \) — The discount percentage applied

Explanation: The formula works by reversing the discount percentage calculation to find the original price before the discount was applied.

3. Importance of Original Price Calculation

Details: Knowing the original price helps consumers understand the true value of discounts and compare different sale offers effectively.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the discounted price in USD and the discount percentage (0-99). Both values must be valid (price > 0, percentage between 0-99).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why can't I enter 100% discount?
A: A 100% discount would make the denominator zero (division by zero), which is mathematically undefined.

Q2: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise for the given inputs, assuming the discount was calculated as a simple percentage off the original price.

Q3: Does this work for multiple discounts?
A: No, this calculates only for a single percentage discount. For multiple discounts, a different approach is needed.

Q4: What if I know the discount amount instead of percentage?
A: In that case, simply add the discount amount to the sale price to get the original price.

Q5: Can I use this for price increases?
A: Yes, by entering a negative "discount" percentage, though the formula is typically used for discounts.
