Discount Calculator Formulas and Examples
1. Calculate Discount Amount & Final Price from Percentage
Formula:
\[
\text{Discount Amount} = \text{Starting Amount} \times \frac{\text{Discount Percentage}}{100}
\]
\[
\text{Final Price} = \text{Starting Amount} - \text{Discount Amount}
\]
Example:
- Starting Amount = $200
- Discount Percentage = 15%
\[
\text{Discount Amount} = 200 \times \frac{15}{100} = 30
\]
\[
\text{Final Price} = 200 - 30 = 170
\]
Results:
- Discount Amount = $30
- Final Price = $170
2. Calculate Discount Percentage from Starting Price & Discount Amount
Formula:
\[
\text{Discount Percentage} = \frac{\text{Discount Amount}}{\text{Starting Amount}} \times 100
\]
Example:
- Starting Amount = $500
- Discount Amount = $75
\[
\text{Discount Percentage} = \frac{75}{500} \times 100 = 15\%
\]
Result:
- Discount Percentage = 15%
3. Calculate Discount Percentage from Starting Price & Final Price
Formula:
\[
\text{Discount Percentage} = 100 - \frac{\text{Final Price}}{\text{Starting Amount}} \times 100
\]
Example:
- Starting Amount = $400
- Final Price = $340
\[
\text{Discount Percentage} = 100 - \frac{340}{400} \times 100 = 100 - 85 = 15\%
\]
Result:
- Discount Percentage = 15%
