How to figure out percentages
Percent off, or a discount, is a case in which you need to use the percentage decrease formula. The process of calculations looks as follows:
- Enter the original price into our percent off calculator. For example, a TV set might cost $5000.
- Determine the percentage discount – for instance, 75%.
- The sum that stays in your pocket – your savings – is simply these two values multiplied by each other:
75% * $5000 = 0.75 * $5000 = $3750. - The final price of the product on sale is the difference between the original price and savings:
$5000 = $3750 = $1250. - You can also use the percent off calculator to determine how much more you have to pay if the price of the product goes up! Simply type a negative value into the “off” box – our calculator will use the percentage increase formula.
