Answrer

Option (a) is correct .

i.e  take 10% of $85

Reason

As given

15% and 10% on a $100 item i.e first applied 15 % discount on $ 100 and than apply 10% discount .

15 % is written in the decimal form

= \frac{15}{100}

= 0.15

Amount becomes when 15 % discount on$100 = 100 - 0.15 × 100

                                                                              = 100 - 15

                                                                              = $ 85

Now apply 10 % discount on $ 85.

10 % is written in the decimal form

= \frac{10}{100}

= 0.1

Amount becomes when 15 % discount on$100 = 85- 0.1 × 85

                                                                              = 85 - 8.5

                                                                              = $ 76.5

Therefore the option (a) is correct about the  successive discounts of 15% and 10% on a $100 item is $76.5 .
