  1. Calculate Discount: To find the price after the discount, we need to calculate the amount of the discount and subtract it from the original price. The discount is 25%25\% of the original price pp.\newlineCalculation: Discount =25%= 25\% of p=0.25×pp = 0.25 \times p
  2. Subtract Discount: Now, we subtract the discount from the original price to find the sale price before tax.\newlineCalculation: Sale price = pp - Discount = pp - 0.25×p0.25 \times p = pp - 0.25p0.25p = 0.75p0.75p
