The Treasure Hunter's Guide to Discounts

A discount is your buried treasure - a reduction in the usual price of a product or service that savvy shoppers dig up to claim their prize. These golden opportunities appear as percentage plunder (e.g., "20% Off") or fixed booty (e.g., "$10 Off"). Mastering discount calculations equips you with the tools to verify sale prices and excavate maximum savings from every shopping expedition.

Treasure Map Formulas

To calculate your golden booty (discount amount):

Discount Amount = Original Price × (Discount % / 100)

To find your final treasure price:

Sale Price = Original Price - Discount Amount

Reverse Engineering the Treasure

To uncover the original treasure value from a discounted price:

Original Price = Sale Price / (1 - (Discount % / 100))

Essential for detective work when you know your bargain purchase and discount percentage, but need to verify the chest's original worth.

Treasure Hunter's Common Queries

How do I calculate 20% off my treasure?

Shift the decimal point one position left to find 10% of your booty, then double it for the full 20%. Alternatively, multiply by 0.20 to claim your prize instantly.

Can I stack multiple treasure discounts?

Merchants often apply layered discounts sequentially rather than additively. For instance, "20% off plus an extra 10% off" means you first claim 20% of the original chest, then take 10% off that reduced value - not the original amount.
