Percentage examples in real life

A store has a sale 40% off an item that you like which costs $180. How much are going to pay after the discount?

item cost	% sale	the discount is	you pay
$180	40%	$72	$108
amount	percentage	percent amount	decreased amount

The discount is $72 and you have to pay $108

BUT there is a 23% sales tax so what is the sales tax and how much are going to pay?

item cost	sales tax %	tax amount	you pay
$108	23%	$24.84	$132.84
amount	percentage	percent amount	increased amount

The tax amound is 24.84 and you have to pay $132.84

So your $180 item after 40% percent discount with 23% sales tax will cost you $132.84
