Why can't you add the trade discounts together when calculating the net price?
Apart from the fact that often you cannot use multiple discounts at the same time, they are defined multiplicatively, not additively. A 20% discount means that the price is reduced by 20% to 80% of its full price. A 20% discount on top of a 20% discount is 80% of 80% which is 0.8*0.8 of the full price which is 64%.

A 5 percent discount of an item and subsequent 3 percent discount is the same overall 8 percent discount?
Not necessarily. It depends on whether the 3% is based on the already discounted price or the original full price: eg original price 100, less 5% = 95. Taking 3% off this is a further 2.85 giving a new nett of 92.15. A straight 8% would leave 92 exactly...

To compute a 10 percent discount, simply take 90 percent (100 percent minus 10 percent) of the original price. This is .10 x 59.95. Likewise, a 25 percent discount is 75 percent of the original price. So compute .75 x 75.99.

Can you explain me about successive discount with an example?
discounts are a deduction from the usual cost of something, typically given for prompt or advance payment to a special category of buyers. Deduct an amount from the usual price of something. Discounts are used in our life that we live in as we no it. Multiplication can solve it with the help of the subtraction. Step 1 you change the percentage into a decimal then step 2 you put them in a multiplication sum and from there you then subtract the answer away from the answer that you got from multiplication the number but with interest you do the exact same thing but add the answer from the multiplication

Where can you learn about value add discount programs?
There are a number of companies that provide discounts, most of them through merchant affiliate networks (like NextJump, eBates, Retailmenot.com, etc.). But I don't know how much "value" they add since most of them borrow from the same source of these discounts (Commission Junction, LinkShare, Google Affiliates, etc.). The discounts are almost entirely online and range in the 1 to 5 percent range. Companies like Access Development (www.accessdevelopment.com and http://www.access-loyalty-solutions.com/value-add-discount-programs-and-loyalty-cards.php) and Entertainment Publications (www.entertainment.com) focus on adding local in-store value as well as participate in the online affiliate world. Because most of their discounts are not through affiliates, the actual offers tend to range between 10 and 50 percent off. Entertainment is better known than Access, but that may be because Access specializes in private-label discount programs where their name doesn't appear as prominently.
