Question 498216
Lea bought a pair of shoes at two successive discounts of 20% and 10%. What single discount are these two discounts equivalent?
==========================================================
If C is the original cost, then the price after the first discount = 0.8C
The new price after applying the second discount = 0.9*0.8c = 0.72c
So the total discount = 1 - 0.72 = 0.28, or 28%
