A discount of 15% multiplies the price by 0.85.
A discount of 15% followed by a discount of 10% on the already discounted price multiplies the price by (0.85)(0.90).

The price of the first shirt will be (400)(0.85) = 340.
The price of the second shirt will be (400)(0.85)(0.90) = 340(0.90) = 306.

The total cost of the two shirts will be PhP(340+306) = PhP 646.

15% of the first shirt = 15/100*400 = 60
400-60 = 340
10% of the second shirt on the reduced price
10/100*340 = 34
340-34 = 306
Php 646 has to be paid for two shirts.
