Question 11 Alexm

(11)Is taking 10% off a given item and then an additional 40% off the reduced price the same as taking 50% off the original price? Why or why not.

steps..................

-Choose a number you can easily play with... i chose ''100''
-10% off the original price(100) = 90
-My question; what is 40% of 90 = 40 "divide" 100 = 0.4 x 90 = 36

answer: NO, it is not 50% when you do this because you get the 40% of the 90 making it 36.
