129.32$ x tax rate

Explanation:

If you want 39% of 212 you have to multiply it by 0.39.
#212 times 0.39=82.68#
That means that 82.68$ of the item's price is being taken off.
So now subtract 82.68 from the total amount (212).
#212-82.68=129.32$#
Then, if you want to add taxes, just multiply 129.32 by 1.**. Where the stars represent your local tax rates.
You're done!

129.32$

Explanation:

To find the new price, we must subtract the discount. The discount is #39%# of #212#
#= 39/100 xx212 = 39 xx2.12#
#=82.68$#

The new price is the (old price - the discount)
#= (212 - 82.68)$#
#= 129.32$#
