The price of a laptop is first discounted by 15%, and then the reduced price is further discounted by 10%.

This series of successive discounts is equivalent to a single discount of:

Let the original price by x.

Price after discount of 15% = .85x
Price after further discount of 10% = .9*.85x = .765x = (1-.235)x

The series of successive discounts is equivalent to a single discount of 23.5%
