A store sells a shirt that is discounted by 10%. A coupon is used for an additional 10% off the discounted price.
What is the total percentage discount on the shirt?

The total percentage discount was 19%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentages

Suppose the original price of the shirt was x.

A discount of 10% reduces the price by:

10*x/100 = 0.1x

Thus, the discounted price is:

x - 0.1x = 0.9x

The second discount reduces the price by:

10*0.9x/100 = 0.09x

The new discounted price is:

0.9x - 0.09x = 0.81x

With respect to the original price, the last discounted price has been discounted by:

x - 0.81x = 0.19x

This means the total percentage discount was 0.19*100 = 19%.

The total percentage discount was 19%

0.85 or 85%

step-by-step explanation:

1) divide 23 by 27

2) round the decimal to the nearest 10

3) so your answer would be 0.85 or 85%
