If it's 15% off to begin with, then a normal customer would only pay 85% of the original price.
20.35%2A%280.85%29
17.2975
So a normal customer would pay about $17.30 for the repair kit. Kyle has another 35% off coupon, so he will only have to pay 65% of the sale price.
17.2975%2A%280.65%29
11.243375
So Kyle will only have to pay about $11.24 for the repair kit.
