Note that this formula results in $8.64, not the OP's $7.36.

I am trying to compute the following: multiply the price times the

discount %
and then subtract that from the price. Then take that answer and multiply

it
by the tax %. For example price is 10, discount is 20% and tax% is 8%.
price is 8 after discount
multiply 8 times 8% = sales tax
and then subtract that from 8 to get the final
price of 7.36
Thank You very much for your help
