Question

In a state with 8.25% tax, someone buys an article marked 15% discount. When the price is worked out, does it matter if the tax is added first and then the discount taken off, or if the discount is taken off and then the tax is added?

Answer 1

okay so i am going to try but i dunno if it will be correct sense you wont give me the whole prob.

So if you take 8.25 and multilpy 15 you will get 123.75 then you just add the percent to it so you final answer would be 123.75%

Answer 2

First, you add the discount.

Then you add the tax

Like come on, common sense, why would you pay taxes for money that you don't have to pay since you got a discount
