The original price will be larger than the final price because you would be taxing the discounted price not the original price.

Yes. If you add the sales tax first then the discount wont be on just the product. it would be on the product and the tax with the product. so you have to first get the discounted price from the store and then tax for the county.

Answer:

The only difference is that we line up the numbers according to the decimal point. For addition, it doesn't matter which number goes on the bottom.

In order to clear out room for new merchandise, James decided to mark down some of the items for sale in his electronics store.
skelet666 [1.2K]
Lets day the original price of the dvd player was $100,
36% marked down means you pay $64x
64x = $41.60
100x = 100/54 x 41.60 = 4160/64 = #65.00 = original cost
similarly, stereo tuners = 100/78 x 69.42 = 6942/78 = $89 original cost
DVD = 65- 41.60 = $ 23. 40 less 
Stereo = 89- 69.42 = $ 19.58 less
Diffrence is $ 3.82
so your answer is the dvd player price was reduced by $3.82 more than the stereo tuner.
