Calculate what the new number should be

27 Views Asked by At

If I know that the price for a particular product is $1750 WITH a 35% discount

How can I found out what was the original price? This is probably a simple answer but I i have tried getting 35% and adding it to 1750, then 35% off that is a smaller number than 1750.

This isn't for study, purely just exporting a list of products, and I don't know there price before the sale price, and my client wants to know what the original prices were!

Let $1750=n-0.35n$ then $1750=0.65n$ then $n= 1750/0.65$ where n is the original price.

Note: the answer might depend on how the "discount" is calculated.
