Black Friday Calculator (% OFF)

The Black Friday Calculator helps you quickly determine the new price of an item after a discount and the total amount saved. It is especially useful during the Black Friday shopping frenzy when discounts are typically higher than usual.

Black Friday Discount Formula

The formula to calculate the new price after a Black Friday discount is:

\[ \text{New Price (NP)} = \text{Original Price (OP)} - \left(\frac{\text{Discount (D)}}{100} \times \text{OP}\right) \]

• NP: New Price
• OP: Original Price
• D: Discount Percentage

Example Calculation

If the original price of an item is $200 and the discount offered is 30%, the new price and amount saved would be calculated as follows:

\[ \text{New Price} = 200 - \left(\frac{30}{100} \times 200\right) = 200 - 60 = 140 \text{ dollars} \]

\[ \text{Amount Saved} = 200 - 140 = 60 \text{ dollars} \]

Importance and Usage Scenarios

Black Friday is a significant event for shoppers, with many deals available that are not present at other times of the year. This calculator assists in ensuring that you understand how much you're saving and whether the deal is worth it.
