OpenStudy (oblivion20):

I was trying to figure out the question but @Blonde_Gangsta beat me to it

It doesn't matter which order you apply the discounts, so long as you apply them properly. To discount 20%, let us multiply by 0.8. $72.50 x 0.8 = $58.00 Now, discount a further 15%, let us multiply by 0.85 $58.00 x 0.85 = $49.30. So $49.30 is the final price. Notice that to apply discounts, we simply multiplied. And order does not matter with multiplication.
