1. What is the Percentage Discount Calculator?

The Percentage Discount Calculator helps you determine the final price after applying a percentage discount to an original price. It also shows the amount you'll save with the discount.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the percentage discount formula:

Where:

• Original Price — The initial price before discount
• Discount Percentage — The percentage discount being applied (0-100%)

Explanation: The formula calculates the remaining percentage you pay (100% - discount%) of the original price.

3. Importance of Discount Calculation

Details: Accurate discount calculation is crucial for budgeting, financial planning, and making informed purchasing decisions.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the original price in USD and the discount percentage (0-100). Both values must be valid (price > 0, percentage between 0-100).
