Sale Price Formulas and Calculations
Percent Off Price Formula
Discounted price = List price - (List price x (percentage / 100))
Example: Sale price is 25% off list price of $130
Convert 25% to a decimal by dividing by 100: 25/100 = 0.25
Multiply list price by decimal percent: 130*0.25 = 32.50
Subtract discount amount from list price: 130 - 32.50 = 97.50
With the formula:
130 - (130*(25/100)) =
130 - (130*0.25) =
130 - 32.50 = 97.50
25% off $130 is $97.50
