Rinse and repeat, as many times as you like,
until the novelty wears off and you lose interest.
It was marked down 1/4 of the original price to $128. That means $128 is equal to 3/4 of the original price. So the original price would be 4/3 of $128. I get $170.67 (rounded to the nearest cent).
Part A:
Price before tax: $49.99
Discount: 50% of $49.99 = 50% * $49.99 = 0.50 * $49.99 = $25.00
Discounted price: $49.99 - $25.00 = $24.99
Tax on discounted price: 8% of $24.99 = 8% * $24.99 = 0.08 * $24.99 = $2.00
Part B:
Total price: $24.99 + $2.00 = $26.99
