1. What Is The Original Price Calculator?

The Original Price Calculator helps you determine the original price of an item before a discount was applied, using the discounted price and the discount percentage.

2. How Does The Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• Discounted Price — The current price after discount
• Discount % — The percentage discount applied

Explanation: This 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 consumers understand the true value of discounts, compare deals effectively, and make informed purchasing decisions.

4. Using The Calculator

Tips: Enter the discounted price in your local currency and the discount percentage. The discount must be between 0% and 100% (exclusive).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if the discount is 100%?
A: A 100% discount means the item is free, making the original price calculation undefined as it would require division by zero.

Q2: Can this calculator handle multiple discounts?
A: This calculator is designed for single percentage discounts. For multiple discounts, you would need to apply the formula sequentially.

Q3: Does this work for price increases too?
A: While designed for discounts, you can use negative discount percentages to calculate original prices before price increases.

Q4: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise for single percentage discounts applied to the original price.

Q5: What currency should I use?
A: You can use any currency - the result will be in the same currency as your discounted price input.
