For tax, let's say something is $25, and the sales tax is 7%, you could do 25 times (multiply) 7%, you get $1.75, now add $1.75 to $25.
For discounts it is a little different. If you have something that is $75, and the discount is 20% off, you would do $75 times (multiply) 20%, you get $15, now subtract $15 from $75 and then calculate the tax.
