Answer+for+Percent+question

Here is the Questie! Question: Is taking 15% off a given item and then an additional 10% off the reduced price the same as taking 25% off the original price? Why or why not?

Ok, let's say something costs $100 So,100/100x15=15 Then, 100-15=85 Next, 85/100=8.5 So then this is what I got: 85-8.5=**76.5**
 * First part: 15% off then -10%**

First,100/100x25=25 Then,100-25=**75**
 * Second part: 25% off**

76.5>75

They are different because in part one, you don't find the same percentage anymore because you find the percent of another number, rather than just 100%. Taking 25% off will help you save more money for a saving shopper.
