Doesn’t it depend on the state? Some states tax on the pre discount price, or used to anyway. That always seemed unfair to me.

100-25=75
75% of 80 = 60
105% of 60 = 63
The answer is $63.
Why would anyone pay that much for a pair of tennis shoes? Mine cost $30, at full price, and they’re just fine.
