the price of an item is discounted 10 percent on day 1 of a sale . on day 2 , the item is discounted another 10 percent , and on day 3 , it is discounted an additional 10 percent . the price of the item on day 3 is what percentage of the sale price on day 1 ?
"original price = 100 day 1 discount = 10 % , price = 100 - 10 = 90 day 2 discount = 10 % , price = 90 - 9 = 81 day 3 discount = 10 % , price = 81 - 8.1 = 72.9 which is 72.9 / 90 * 100 of the sale price on day 1 = ~ 81 % answer e"
add(multiply(divide(divide(10, const_100), subtract(1, divide(1, 10))), const_100), 2)
