💡 Stacking Discounts

Two successive discounts are NOT additive. A 20% off followed by another 10% off equals 28% total, not 30%. Always calculate compound discounts: Final = Price × (1 – d1) × (1 – d2).

🛍️ How to Calculate Discounts

Sale Price from % Off

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

Example: $100 item, 30% off → $100 × 0.70 = $70

Find Discount Percentage

Discount % = ((Original - Sale) / Original) × 100

Example: $100 → $75 → ((100-75)/100) × 100 = 25%

Find Original Price

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

Example: Sale $60 after 25% off → $60 / 0.75 = $80 original
