lets say something costs 100 dollars. if there is 6% sales tax then you multiply the 100 by 6/100 = 6 dollars. 6 dollars is your sales tax, 106 is your total.
Lets say something costs 100 dollars. there is a 10% discount on it, therefore you multiply 100 by 10/100 and get 10. You then subtract 100-10 (the discount) and the price is 90.

Why do run-on sentences always make it seem like the person is panicking?

anonymous · Answer

when calculating discounts 
you take the price and multiply it by the discount percentage then subtract it to the original price 

when calculating sales tax 
you take the original price and multiply it by the sales tax then add it to the original price

Sorry, I was going to give an example, but started having computer trouble.

hero · Answer

Suppose the original price of a coat is $120 and The Coat Factory is selling it at a 25% discount. The sales price would then be: 

120 - .25(120) = sales price
120 - 30 = sales price
90 = sales price 

Therefore, the sales price is $90.
