Wheel's Bicycle shop advertised a bicycle for 15% off for a savings of $36. The bicycle did not sell, so it was offered at a new 20% discount off the sale price.
when you get $15 off the price is $100
you got $36 off so the price will be (36/15) *100
=$240.
100 -20
240 ---?
(240/100)*20
= $48 is the discount
