To find the discount on an item, multiply the original price by the discount percentage (expressed as a decimal), then subtract that amount from the original price. For sales tax, multiply the original price (or the price after discount) by the sales tax rate (also as a decimal). Finally, add the sales tax to the discounted price to get the total cost.

Why must you first calculate a discount price on an item before calculating the total sales tax on the item?

The discount must be calculated first to get the base price of the item, then the tax percentage would be taken into consideration, otherwise you would be charging additional tax on an item which should be discounted in the first place. If you were to calculate tax first then the discount price, your total would be incorrect.

If you sold an item for 20.00 and included sales tax and your sales tax rate is 7.3 what was the item price before sales tax?

The easiest way to understand the answer is to turn it around. If you wanted to calculate the item price plus tax, you would multiply the item price by 1.073. So, to back up to the item price from the item price plus tax, divide the item price plus tax by 1.073. $20.00 / 1.073 = item price before sales tax.
