Formula
Discount Percentage = (Discount Amount / Original Price) x 100
Discount Amount = Original Price x (Discount% / 100)
Final Price = Original Price - Discount Amount
Example
Original price: 2,000
Discounted price: 1,500
Discount Amount: 500
Discount %: (500/2000) x 100 = 25%
Reverse Calculation
If you know the discount percentage:
Final Price = 2000 x (1 - 25/100) = 1,500
