Answer 2

That is the way the question was posed to me. I am not sure I understand the question either.

Answer 3

If there are 3 successive discount, x, y and z
then net discount should be the following:

= (x + y + z) – [(xy/100) + (yz/100) + (xz/100) – (xyz/10000)]

= (5 + 4 +1) – [(20/100) + (4/100) + (5/100) – (20/10000)]

= 9.71 %

= 0.0971..... there ya go =)
