You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Standard discount is 15%. So employees pay 0.85 of the full price
Extra special discount is 30% (0.7)on top of the original 15%.
EmployeePrice+=+%28FullPrice%2A+0.85%29+%2A+%280.7%29
EmployeePrice+=+%28225%2A+0.85%29+%2A+%280.7%29
EmployeePrice+=+%28191.25%29+%2A+%280.7%29
EmployeePrice+=+133.88
