A successive discount is a combination of many discounts. For example, discounting an $800 TV by 10%, leaving us with $720, and then discounting this by 5%, leaving us with $684.Working out:
1st Discount
= 800 x 0.9
=$720
2nd Discount
=$720 x 0.95
=$684
A normal discount of 15% will give us a different answer to this.

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%
When one of the discounts is an absolute discount (10 cents) and the other is relative (20%), it is not posible to give an answer without knowing the starting price.
