Calculating Discount Percentage of a given discounted price
math, php
Solution
Use this formula for calculating the discount percentage :
Discount%=(Original Price - Sale price)/Original price*100
Translating it into code, it should be something like :
$percent = (($rowx->Orgprice - $rowx->SalePrice)*100) /$rowx->Orgprice ;
Problem
I am trying to find out the discount amount of a price. The cost of item WAS £50.00 Sale Price £25.00 Discount = %50 However when use this formula below in PHP it doesnt give me the correct Discount percentage. ``` $percent = $rowx->Orgprice - $rowx->SalePrice / 100; $percent = 50 - 25 / 100 = 49.75; $percent = 50 - 20 / 100 = 49.8; ``` All above percentages are wrong.
