You can put this solution on YOUR website! Is a 10% discount followed by a 20% discount equal to a 30% discount? Explain NO
 After the first discount, that amt is discounted by the amt of 2nd discount
 :
 Take an example of an original price of $100 discounted 10%
 after the 1st discount, the price is $90
 Now you discount $90 by 20%
 .20 * 90 = 18
 Now the price is 90 - 18 = $72
 :
 A straight 30% discount would give you a price of $70
