No because after you would take 20% of you have a lower number so the next 20% would be lower too. But if you took 40% off the original number would be bigger so the discount would be bigger.

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...
