If you know the percentage discount, say 5%, then the sales price will be 100% minus the discount, say 95%. Divide the sales price by the discount and you get the original price. Say the sales price was $47.50. Then the original price was $47.50/.95=$50.

Let
O = original price
d = discount
S = sale price
then
S = O-d*O = O(1-d)
O = S/(1-d)

You add both (sale price + discount).
If the discount is in %, use the following formula:
original price = sale price + (discount x original price)
Solve for original price:
original price - (discount x original price) = sale price

Divide the percent by 100 then multiply it by the discounted price.
Discount multiplied by x = 100 times the discounted price.

I assume the discount is expressed as a percentage. You would deduct that percentage from 100 and mult the discounted price by 100/(100-%).
for example: say the price is discounted 10% and is $90
90*(100/90) = $100 for the orig price.

What do you mean by "Original price?" be more specific!
If you want to see how much the merchant sold you the merchandise just subtract the discount from the sales price.

if you mean the marked price on the article try
(discounted selling price) * { (100 - r)/r }
where r is the rate of discount (%)
