Find the net price for an order of gift items with a list price $24,000 less trade discounts of 30/25/15. use the net price, com
Wittaler [7]
Price of the items = $24000 
Discounts =30%, 25%, 15%. 
Sale amount after discount,
 100 - 30 = 70% = 0.7
 100 - 25 = 75% = 0.75
 100 - 15 = 85% = 0.85
 Multiplying we get the discount = 0.7 x0.75 x 0.85 = 0.44625
 So the net price = 0.44625 x 24000 = $10,710
