1. What is the Original Price Calculator?

This calculator helps determine the original price of a used car before a discount was applied. It's useful for understanding the true value of a discount offer and comparing deals.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( Discounted \) — 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 Calculating Original Price

Details: Knowing the original price helps buyers understand the true value of a discount and compare different deals more effectively. It's particularly important in used car markets where pricing can be opaque.

4. Using the Calculator

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

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why is this useful for used cars?
A: Used car prices often include negotiated discounts. This calculator helps determine the pre-discount asking price for comparison.

Q2: Does this account for additional fees?
A: No, this calculates only the price before discount. Taxes, registration, and other fees would be additional.

Q3: What if I know the original price and want to find the discounted price?
A: The standard discount formula is: Discounted = Original × (1 - %/100)

Q4: How accurate is this for large discounts?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise, but very large discounts (>30%) on used cars may indicate other factors like hidden issues.

Q5: Can I use this for new cars?
A: Yes, the calculation works the same way for any discounted item.
