Formula
The math behind the number
No black box — here's exactly how the result is computed.
Sale Price = Original Price × (1 − Discount% ÷ 100) Savings = Original Price × Discount% ÷ 100
A discount percentage tells you what fraction of the original price is being removed. Subtract that fraction to get the final price.
