Date: 1/23/2002 3:41:00 PM  From Authorid: 24003    Ummmm no thanks..ill just be a loser.  
Date: 1/23/2002 3:42:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 47983    lol...~*Jeset*~  
Date: 1/23/2002 3:43:00 PM  From Authorid: 38989    Lol, math, my WORST subject, and you expect me to know this one? lol  
Date: 1/23/2002 3:49:00 PM  From Authorid: 38507    I am no good at math *Tear*..heheh. Gives me a head ache. I'll just stick to simple math and photography...  
Date: 1/23/2002 3:51:00 PM  From Authorid: 38989    ok, discount is $214.16 (i rounded) the amount for computer after discount is $662.77. if you do tax BEFORE discount, it would be $39.46 for tax, which would make the computer $702.23. if you do tax AFTER the discount, the tax would be $29.82. and the cost of the computer would be $692.59. now if i even did any of the correctly (which i doubt i did, seeing i stink at math) that would be a mirical. like i said, i doubt i got any of it right though  
Date: 1/23/2002 3:52:00 PM  From Authorid: 6358    Do you want the taxes figured in before or after the discount?  
Date: 1/23/2002 3:55:00 PM  From Authorid: 12118    math sucks!! arrrrgggghhh! LMAO! love,  
Date: 1/23/2002 4:01:00 PM  From Authorid: 30421    ok I got 921.87....I did tax after discount  
Date: 1/23/2002 4:02:00 PM  From Authorid: 19092    I'm not sure I understand your question. If the computer was reduced "to" 27.5% then its cost is $241.16. But, if it was reduced "by" 27.5% then its cost is $635.14. The tax on each value is $10.85 and $28.58 respectively. so the two totals are $252.01 and $663.72. Take your pick... Oh yea, the discount on the first figure is $635.77, the second is $241.16.  
Date: 1/23/2002 4:02:00 PM  From Authorid: 6358    Original Cost = 876.93. 876.93 X .275(% discount) = 241.16(discount). New price with discount = 635.77. 635.77 X .045(tax) = 28.61. 635.77 + 28.61(tax) = 664.38 (total cost).  
Date: 1/23/2002 4:02:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 47983    lol.. let me check that...~*Jeset*~  
Date: 1/23/2002 4:04:00 PM  From Authorid: 42792    $252.01 according to the way you asked the question  
Date: 1/23/2002 4:05:00 PM  From Authorid: 6358    I'm assuming they are adding the tax after the discount...in the retail world they usually do that......it doesn't make sense to pay more tax when you get a discount.  
Date: 1/23/2002 4:11:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 47983    Kewl Girly Has it!...~*Jeset*~
