Find discount amount and final price from original price and percentage
Multiple discounts are applied sequentially, not added together. For example, 20% off then 10% off the reduced price gives you 28% total savings, not 30%. Apply the first discount, then calculate the second discount on the new price.
Discount amount is the fixed dollar amount you save (e.g., $10 off), while discount percentage is the relative savings as a percentage of the original price (e.g., 20% off). The percentage helps compare discounts across different price points.
Use the "Find Original Price" calculation type. Enter the final price and discount percentage, and the calculator will determine what the original price was before the discount was applied.
Discount percentages can theoretically go up to 100% (free item), but in practice, most discounts range from 5-50%. Very high discounts (80%+) are often clearance sales or promotional offers. Always verify the original price to ensure the discount is legitimate.
