Well 50% of 20 dollars is 10$ correct
25 percent of 10$ is 2.5$
25 percent of 2.5$ is 0.63
So the total cost is 63 cents only if you have to find the percent of the shirt in order-of the discounts.
But if your adding all the discounts together equaling 100% off for the shirt then yes it will be free.
