Clearance Discount Formula
The clearance discount is calculated by multiplying the original price by the discount percentage. The sales tax is then calculated based on this discounted price.
Example:Let’s say you want to buy a shirt with an original price of $50, and it has a 30% clearance discount.
Discount Calculation:* Discount Amount = $50 * 0.30 = $15
Price After Discount:* Price After Discount = $50 – $15 = $35
Sales Tax Calculation (assuming a 6% sales tax rate):* Sales Tax = $35 * 0.06 = $2.10
Final Price:* Final Price = $35 + $2.10 = $37.10
