Question

The single discount of two successive discounts 10% and 5% is​

Answer 1

14.5%

Explanation:

Use the number 100 as an example to find the single discount.

Take a 10% discount off of this:

100(0.9)

= 90

Take a 5% discount:

90(0.95)

= 85.5

So, after the successive discounts, $14.5 was discounted.

This means that the single discount is 14.5%.

So, the answer is 14.5%
