Discount: A Percent of Decrease

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the final price of a sweater after applying multiple discounts. It begins by detailing the original price and the discounts available: a 10% sale discount and a 25% coupon discount. The tutorial then evaluates a customer's claim that a single 35% discount on the original price would yield the same result. Through step-by-step calculations, it demonstrates that the customer's method is incorrect, as the discounts apply sequentially, not cumulatively. The final price is determined to be $27, not the $26 suggested by the customer's method.
