Answer:

10%

Explanation:

20%=20/100=0.20

75$x.0.20=15$

The price when she received a 20% discount was:

75$-15$=60$

Then, the web site applied a 10% service fee to the discounted price, so you have:

10/100=0.10

75$x0.10=7.5$

60$+7.5$=67.5$

So, if 75$ is the 100% of the price, what percentage represents 67.5$?

75$--------100%

67.5$------x

x=67.5 x 100/75

x=90%

Then,

100%-90%=10%
