Unlocking the Mystery of Sale Prices: The Secret Math Revealed!

Ever stood in a bustling New York boutique, clutching a sweater with a red tag, and wondered, "What was the original price before this 25% off miracle?" Trust me, I’ve been there, calculator in hand, feeling like a math detective! 🕵️‍♂️ Here’s the trick: If you know the sale price and the discount, you can uncover the list price with a simple formula. For example, if that cozy sweater is $51.75 after a 25% discount, just divide the sale price by 0.75 (because you’re paying 75% of the original). Voilà! The original price was $69.00. Want to know the discount? Subtract the sale price from the original, then divide by the original price. Multiply by 100, and you’ve got your percent off!
