Question

Is there a way to turn a series of discounts into a single discount?
ie. given 20% and 10% arrive at 28%

Answer 1

I didn't realize there was a finance forum. Should I have posted this there?

Answer 2

it seems your question is just a multiplication one...20% discount leaves 80% of whole, while 10% discount leaves 90% of whole...therefore you have (x * .8) * .9

Answer 3

which is x * .72

Answer 4

right as you mentioned...so it just looks like a distributive rule of multiplication i believe
