How much do I save at 60% off $249.99?
$149.99 on a $249.99 item, which is the 60% that comes off before the till total of $100.00. The share you still pay is 40%, and sales tax is charged on that smaller figure rather than on the original.
Is 60% off plus another 60% off the same as 120% off?
No. Stacked percentages multiply, so 60% then 60% is 84% off in total, not 120%. On $249.99 the first cut leaves $100.00, and a second 60% takes it to $40.00.
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 $108.00 on a $100.00 subtotal, not 8% of $249.99. There are exceptions for manufacturer coupons and mail-in rebates, but a shelf discount is applied first.
