<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
<em><u>At first a price was decreased by 12%, then it was discounted again by an additional 5 %</u></em>
To find: Percent of total discount
Let "x" be the original price
<em><u>At first a price was decreased by 12%</u></em>
Therefore,
Discounted price = original price - 12 % of original price
Discounted price = x - 12 % of x

<em><u>Thus the percent of total discount is:</u></em>
