You can put this solution on YOUR website! Each of two inventions saves 40% on fuel. If you use both inventions, what percent of fuel is saved?
--------------------
64%
------------
Calculate how much fuel is used with each device. With one, it's 60% used, or 0.6 as much.
The 2nd device saves 40% of that, or the consumption drops to 0.6 of what it is with only 1 device used. So, it's 0.6 x 0.6 used, or 0.36 of the original. That's 36%, so 64% is saved.

PS Don't send any money for things like this. They're scams.
