Calculate Tuesday's Discounted Price: First, calculate the price after the 15\% discount on Tuesday. If the original price is 100%, then the price after the discount is 100%−15%=85%.
Calculate Additional Wednesday Discount: Next, calculate the additional 5% discount on the already discounted price for Wednesday. This is 5% of the 85%, not the original price. So, we calculate 5% of 85%, which is 0.05×85=4.25%.
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%, which rounds to the nearest whole percent as 81%.
