  1. Calculate Tuesday's Discounted Price: First, calculate the price after the 1515\% discount on Tuesday. If the original price is 100%100\%, then the price after the discount is 100%15%=85%100\% - 15\% = 85\%.
  2. Calculate Additional Wednesday Discount: Next, calculate the additional 5%5\% discount on the already discounted price for Wednesday. This is 5%5\% of the 85%85\%, not the original price. So, we calculate 5%5\% of 85%85\%, which is 0.05×85=4.25%0.05 \times 85 = 4.25\%.
  3. Calculate Wednesday's Final Price: Now, subtract the additional discount from the Tuesday's sale price to get Wednesday's sale price. So, 85%4.25%=80.75%85\% - 4.25\% = 80.75\%, which rounds to the nearest whole percent as 81%81\%.
