Calculating Purchase Price with Discounts and Sales Tax

This video tutorial from Moomoomath explains how to calculate the final purchase price of an item when a discount and sales tax are applied. The process involves two main steps: first, calculating the discounted price by subtracting the discount from the original price, and second, adding the sales tax to the discounted price to find the final purchase price. The video provides two examples: one for a shirt and another for shoes, demonstrating the calculations in detail. The tutorial concludes with a prompt to subscribe for more math videos.
