Take the original price and subtract the discount price (that is the original price times the percent). For example, if a shirts normally costs $10 but is now 30% off, then it would be:
$10- ($10*30%)
=$10-$3
=$7

If original price is $100 and discount is 20%, then
1st way: 20% of 100 = 20$ So sale price = 100-20 = $80.
2nd way: 100%-20%=80%. Sale price = 80%of 100 = $80
I think the 2nd way is easiest. If something is 30% off then it's only costing 70% of the original price. So just take 70% of the original price to get sale price.

OP = original price
SP = Sale price
D = Discount (as in percent off i.e. 20% off)
Then one way would be:
[(100 - D)/100] x OP = SP
Another:
OP - [(D/100) x OP] = SP

to locate the low fee, divide the version between the sale cost and the universal cost by potential of the universal cost and then multiply by potential of one hundred to get the share.. $60 minus $40 8 is $12. $12 divided by potential of $60 is 0.20. Multiply this by potential of one hundred to get the % so 0.20 circumstances one hundred is 20%.

OP*(DP/100)
then OP-(whatever you got for the first part)
