Answer 1

Answer:

Its not the same

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

I would respond to him by telling him that its first 15% off then you can add the 10%

First, you would take out the 15% from $24.99 which would make the price $21.25.

Then you would take out the 10% which makes the final price $19.13

This is because the 10% was added later.

If you took out 25% in the begining the final price would be $18.75 not $19.13
