NATE!!! this is serious. How could you write that in a MATH TEST? this is funny and surprising at the same time. I never knew he could be so dumb.

Doesn’t it depend on the state? Some states tax on the pre discount price, or used to anyway. That always seemed unfair to me.

100-25=75
75% of 80 = 60
105% of 60 = 63
The answer is $63.
Why would anyone pay that much for a pair of tennis shoes? Mine cost $30, at full price, and they’re just fine.

The question is, will the sales tax be percentage of the discounted price or the original price?

my logic in math questions: John wants to buy 76,562 bags of buns. In each bag, there are 1,783 buns. Each bun costs 1.3456$. They are on a price increase of 1$ each day since New Year 1963. The date today is April 1, 1994. Plus, there is a discount of 20% off today. How much will it cost him, and how much change will he get if he pays in whole number bills?
