The arithmetic, line by line
| Step | Calculation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate as a decimal | 25 ÷ 100 | 0.25 |
| Discount amount | $99.99 × 0.25 | $25.00 |
| Final price | $99.99 − $25.00 | $74.99 |
| Price paid, share of original | $74.99 ÷ $99.99 × 100 | 75% |
On the price ladder $99.99 is entry 14 of 18, sitting $10.00 above $89.99 and $30.00 below $129.99. The same 25% label saves $22.50 on $89.99 against $25.00 here, so the percentage is identical and the money is not — the shelf label tells you the rate, never the amount.

Does sales tax apply before or after the discount?
After, in every US state that taxes the sale. Tax is charged on what you actually pay, so at 8% you owe $80.99 on a $74.99 subtotal, not 8% of $99.99. There are exceptions for manufacturer coupons and mail-in rebates, but a shelf discount is applied first.
