Let $100 = the original price.
After a 10% discount, the new price = $100 - (10% of $100)
= $100 - ($10)
= $90
After a further 15% discount, the new price = $90 - (15% of $90)
= $90 - ($13.50)
= $76.50
What is the percent decrease from the original price before any discount to the current price?
The price has decreased from $100 to $76.50
Percent decrease = (100)(change in value)/(original value)
= (100)(100 - 76.50)/100
= (100)(23.5)/100
= 23.5%
Answer: D

Question: A crockery store offered a sale of 15% on their products. If a specific product was already on 10% sale, what is the percent decrease from the original price before any discount to the current price?
Original Price = 100
After 10% discount = 90
After 15% discount = 90 * 0.15 = 13.5
= 90 - 13.5 = 76.5
Question: What is the percent decrease from the original price before any discount to the current price?
Original price before discount = 100
Current price = 76.5
Percent decrease = (old - new)/old = (100 - 76.5)/100
=0.235 * 100 = 23.5 Option D
Original Price = 100
After 10% discount = 90
After 15% discount = 90 * 0.15 = 13.5
= 90 - 13.5 = 76.5
Question: What is the percent decrease from the original price before any discount to the current price?
Original price before discount = 100
Current price = 76.5
Percent decrease = (old - new)/old = (100 - 76.5)/100
=0.235 * 100 = 23.5 Option D
