In a state with 8.25% tax, someone buys an article marked 15% discount. when the price is worked out, does it matter if the tax is added first and then the discount taken off, or if the discount is taken off and then the tax is added?

the answer for this question is 38

a) 0.25x times 3. (could be wrong on equation.)

b) 2.25 pound of dark chocolate. (can i eat all the chocolate? plz? anyway, again, could be wrong, but i hope im right. all the chocolate together should be 5.25 pounds)

have a good day!
