Coles has cut the price of Cadbury's chocolate bars by 20%. Their normal price is $3.45. A shareholder who has a Coles-Myer discount card is also entitled to a further discount of 7.5%. What would a shareholder save on the normal price?

Is the 7.5% included with the 20% discount or is it applied after?
