### Finding the Sub-total and the VAT

_Total Item Selling Price:_ **PHP 360.00**  
_VAT rate:_ **12%**

_Sub-total = Total Item Selling Price / 1.12_

**Sub-total** = 360 / 1.12 = **PHP 321.43**

_VAT = Total Item Selling Price - Sub-total_

**VAT** = **PHP 38.57**

### Finding the SC/PWD Discounts

Senior citizens and Persons with Disabilities are entitled to a 20% discount from their sub-total.

_SW/PWD Discount: VAT + (Sub-total x 0.20)_

**SC/PWD Discount** = 38.57 + (321.43 x 0.20) = **PHP 102.86**

### Finding the Grand Total

_Grand Total = Sub-total - SC/PWD Discount_

**Grand Total** = 321.43 - 64.29 = **PHP 257.14**
