Answer: 0.72P
Explanation
  • Calculate the price after the first discount of 20%:

Price after first discount=P×(1−0.20)=P×0.80


  • Calculate the additional 10% discount on the already discounted price:

Price after additional discount=Price after first discount×(1−0.10)=(P×0.80)×0.90


  • Simplify the calculation:
Final price=P×0.80×0.90=P×0.72
