Clearance Rack + Extra 10% Off
Clearance racks marked 50% off, plus a storewide "extra 10% off clearance" event — a common end-of-season tactic. Shoppers expect 60% off. Reality: 55% off. On a $120 coat, you'd expect to pay $48. Actual price: $54. The $6 gap is noticeable, and understanding it helps you budget seasonal clearance shopping accurately.
Step-by-Step on $100
Formula: Price × (1 − 10/100) × (1 − 50/100)
$100 × 0.90 = $90.00 (after 10% off)
$90.00 × 0.50 = $45.00 (after another 50% off)
Real discount: 55% — not 60%

Frequently Asked Questions
No. 10% then 50% gives the same final price as 50% then 10%. Multiplication is commutative: (1−10/100)×(1−50/100) = (1−50/100)×(1−10/100).
The second discount applies to the already-discounted price, not the original. After 10% off, you have 90% of the price left. Taking another 50% off that gives 90% × 0.5 = 45% remaining — so 15% more than if the discounts truly stacked to 60%.
On any purchase, the gap = Price × 10 × 50 / 10,000. For $100: $5.00. For $500: $25.00. The larger the purchase, the more meaningful the difference.
Yes. Multiply a third factor: Price × (1−10/100) × (1−50/100) × (1−D3/100). Three 10% discounts would equal 27.1% total — not 30%.
