The Golden Rule of Discounts and Taxes
Why Order Matters
When you go to a store, the cashier's computer doesn't just smash all the percentages together. Order of Operations is critical in real life!
You must always calculate the Discount FIRST to find the new "Sale Price." Then, you calculate the Tax based only on that new, smaller sale price. If you calculate the tax on the original full price, you'd be overpaying!
How to Find the Percentage
To find a percentage of any number, remember that "Percent" means "Per 100".
- Step 1: Turn the percentage into a decimal by dividing by 100 (e.g., $20\% = 20 \div 100 = 0.20$).
- Step 2: Multiply that decimal by your price (e.g., $0.20 \times 500 = 100$).
