The arithmetic, line by line
| Step | Calculation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate as a decimal | 25 ÷ 100 | 0.25 |
| Discount amount | $14.99 × 0.25 | $3.75 |
| Final price | $14.99 − $3.75 | $11.24 |
| Price paid, share of original | $11.24 ÷ $14.99 × 100 | 75% |
At $0.15 per percentage point, the 5-point move up to 30% changes the saving by $0.75 on a single unit. Two units bought at 25% save $7.50 between them, which is $3.00 more than one unit at 30% ($4.50) — quantity and discount rate are separate levers and they do not trade evenly.

Does sales tax apply before or after the discount?
