after the first discount of 30% you will have 70% left to pay, or 42000(.7)
then after another discount of 20% you will have to pay 80% or the above or
42000(.7)(.8)
and finally after another 15% you have to pay 85% of the above or
42000(.7)(.8)(.85) = 19992
then after another discount of 20% you will have to pay 80% or the above or
42000(.7)(.8)
and finally after another 15% you have to pay 85% of the above or
42000(.7)(.8)(.85) = 19992

I just read the question again.
the answer I left you with would be the final cost, but it asked for the discount
so the discount would be
42000 - 19992 = 22008 or (B)
