How do I calculate the discount amount?

Multiply the original price by the discount percentage (as a decimal). For example, a 25% discount on $100 is $100 × 0.25 = $25 discount, making the sale price $75.

What is the difference between discount and markup?

A discount reduces the price from the original, while markup increases the price from the cost. Retailers use markup to set prices above their cost, then may offer discounts to customers.

How do I compare percentage vs. dollar discounts?

Calculate the final price for each option. Sometimes a smaller percentage off a higher-priced item saves more than a larger percentage off a lower-priced item.

Are there taxes on the discounted price?

Yes, sales tax is typically calculated on the final sale price after discounts are applied. This means you save on both the item cost and the tax amount.
