A single trade discount is only one discount for example 30% a series would be a discount of 20/10/5. Do not add them together they have to be taken separately.

Your question implies that the discounts are applied sequentially, that is the first is applied and then the second is applied to the reduced amount.: To work out the single equivalent discount, you need to work using the value after discount all the way through. A 15% discount can be calculated by working out 15% of the value and subtracting it, but this is also the equivalent of working out 100% - 15% of the original value, that is 85%. Similarly for the 20%, that is working out 100% - 20% = 80% of the original value. So the final value after both discounts is 80% of 85% of the original value which is 80% x 85% = 68% and represents a discount of 100% - 68% = 32%. Thus the discounts of 20% and 15% applied sequentially is equivalent to a single discount of 32%.
Let X be the original price .05X = first discount new price is X-.05X .20(X-.05X) = 2nd discount new price is X -.05X - .20(X-.05X) new price = X - .05X -.20X + .01X = X - .24X equiv discount = .24 = 24%
20% discount is one fifth off.
they receive a discount of 20%; on certain days they receive 20/20 which means they get another 20% off making it 40%

To find the discount multiply $15.99 by .20 (20%), which equals $3,20. Her discount is $3.20.
70 with a 20% discount = 80% of 70 = 70*80/100 = 56
The discount was 20 or about 30.77%
