The arithmetic, line by line
| Step | Calculation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate as a decimal | 75 ÷ 100 | 0.75 |
| Discount amount | $14.99 × 0.75 | $11.24 |
| Final price | $14.99 − $11.24 | $3.75 |
| Price paid, share of original | $3.75 ÷ $14.99 × 100 | 25% |
At $0.15 per percentage point, the 5-point move down from 70% changes the saving by $0.75 on a single unit. Two units bought at 75% save $22.48 between them, which is $11.99 more than one unit at 70% ($10.49) — quantity and discount rate are separate levers and they do not trade evenly.

How much do I save at 75% off $14.99?

Is 75% off plus another 75% off the same as 150% off?
No. Stacked percentages multiply, so 75% then 75% is 93.8% off in total, not 150%. On $14.99 the first cut leaves $3.75, and a second 75% takes it to $0.94.
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 $4.05 on a $3.75 subtotal, not 8% of $14.99. There are exceptions for manufacturer coupons and mail-in rebates, but a shelf discount is applied first.
