Answer:

0.75 could be a 25% discount. 1.06 could be a sales tax.

Step-by-step explanation:

If  p  is the original price, then  1.06p  could be the amount after a 6% tax is include.  Then multiplying by  0.75  could indicate a 25% discount (if you don't pay 25% = 0.25, then you do pay 75% = 0.75).

In case you're wondering about discounting first then charging tax, the result is the same because the multiplication can be done in either order.

0.75(1.06p) = 1.06(0.75p)
