What is the difference between a discount sales tax and a tip in relation to the total cost?

A discount is money off a product, a sales tax is money added to the price of a product, and a tip is money given to someone fr good service.


Why must you first calculate a discount price on an item before calculating the total sales tax on the item?

The discount must be calculated first to get the base price of the item, then the tax percentage would be taken into consideration, otherwise you would be charging additional tax on an item which should be discounted in the first place. If you were to calculate tax first then the discount price, your total would be incorrect.

How do you calculate tax and tips and discounts?

To find tax- you would multiply the tax rate by the amount you would own to get the amount of tax. If tax was 7% and you owed $15.23 (Just came up with a random amount) Then you would multiply $15.23 by .07 and you would get $1.0661 so that would round to $1.07. With tips you would do the same thing if you wanted to leave a 15% tip then you would multiply the amount by .15. And with discounts-if you have a 25% discount on a $30 sweater then you would multiply $30 by .25 and then subtract that from $30


When you tip do you tip before or after taxes?

Generally, you tip before taxes. With food service, a good trick is to know the sales taxes in the state you are in and remember what multiplier of that equals roughly 20%. In California, for example the sales tax is around 8.5%, thus many people simply double that to calculate the tip.
