I think the total discount on a 40 15 5 would be 48.45% If the original cost was $100 then you would take 100 * 40% = $40 then you need to subtract the 40 from 100 = $60 times the next discount of 15% = 9, $60 - 9 = $51 then take the last 5% off this amount another $2.55, $51 - $2.55 = $48.45 is the discounted price of the item. The total percentage discount would be 51.55%.

How do you calculate a discount?
I always use a factor of ten. Assume no matter what the discount is it is ten percent to find a ten percent discount just move the decimal point one space to the left, then take that number and subtract it from the original cost. Then in order to find a different percent discount just multiply the ten percent discount by the percent discount you are looking for, but move the decimal one space to the left again, and subtract that from the original cost. Example: something that costs $45 is on sale for 25% off. A ten percent discount would be $4.50. Multiply that by 2.5 to get$11.50. Then subtract that from the original cost to get $33.50. P.S. often times if you don't need the exact answer it is easier to round you numbers to get rid of the .5 to make the math easier.
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...
