Discount: Result of successive percentages results
A discount is a reduction in the price of an item. The result of successive percentages applied to a price is the final price paid.
For instance, if you buy an item for $100 and the discount is 10%, the price paid would be 90%. If you then apply a further discount of 5%, the final price paid would be 85%.
This concept can be applied to any percentage, including negative percentages. For example, if you buy an item for 90.
Here are some examples:
If you buy an item for $100 and the discount is 10%, the final price paid would be 90.
If you buy an item for $100 and the discount is 5% and then another 5%, the final price paid would be 90.
If you buy an item for $100 and the discount is 10% and then another 10% on top of the 10% discount, the final price paid would be 85.
By understanding the concept of successive percentages, you can calculate the final price paid for an item with a discount applied to it
