Explanation:

Subtract the discount percentage from 100%. Multiply the difference by the original price to get the sale price. For example, given a 10% discount applied to a list price of $50.00, subtract 10% from 100% = 90%. Multiply the list price $50.00 by 90% = $45.00, which is the sale price. Hoping this helps.
