$7.50. The discount is 70% of $24.99, which is $17.49, and that comes straight off the price: $24.99 − $17.49 = $7.50.
How much do I save at 70% off $24.99?
$17.49 on a $24.99 item, which is the 70% that comes off before the till total of $7.50. The share you still pay is 30%, and sales tax is charged on that smaller figure rather than on the original.
Is 70% off plus another 70% off the same as 140% off?
No. Stacked percentages multiply, so 70% then 70% is 91% off in total, not 140%. On $24.99 the first cut leaves $7.50, and a second 70% takes it to $2.25.
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 $8.10 on a $7.50 subtotal, not 8% of $24.99. There are exceptions for manufacturer coupons and mail-in rebates, but a shelf discount is applied first.
