• 10%
• 25%
It doesn't matter
• which discount is applied first, the result is the same.
Not enough information is given.
To determine which discount would save the most money if you are an employee, we need to consider the order in which the discounts are applied.
If the 10% employee discount is applied first, the price of the item would be reduced by 10%. Then, the 25% store discount would be applied to the reduced price.
If the 25% store discount is applied first, the price of the item would be reduced by 25%. Then, the 10% employee discount would be applied to the reduced price.
To calculate the final price after both discounts, we can use the following formulas:
1. Employee discount applied first: Final Price = Original Price * (1 - 10%) * (1 - 25%)
2. Store discount applied first: Final Price = Original Price * (1 - 25%) * (1 - 10%)
By comparing the two formulas, we can determine which one results in a lower final price.
Without knowing the original price of the item, we cannot accurately determine which discount would save the most money. Therefore, not enough information is given to answer this question.
