19%
An item was already discounted by 10% but had to be discounted by another 10 % to make the price even more attractive to customers. Overall, by how many percent was the item discounted?

If something cost $100 dollars if you have a 10% discount you would pay $90.
Another 10% discount then you would pay $81.
The percent Discount would be 100-81/100 or 19%.
So.. how dis we do this?
Each time we paid 90% of the price.
so .9 x .9 =.81 paid.. so our discount is 19%
Another 10% discount then you would pay $81.
The percent Discount would be 100-81/100 or 19%.
