Home Depot wants to buy a new line of fertilizers. Manufacturer A offers a 22/19 chain discount. Manufacturer B offers a 25/14 chain discount. Both manufacturers have the same list price. What is the percentage discount for both manufacturers?

A is 36.82%. B is 35.5%

Step-by-step explanation: For manufacturer A 22/19 chian discount simply means 22% discount followed by 19% discount.

Therefore we have 100-22= 78 and 100-19=81.

The final price would be 0.78*0.81=0.6318

Therefore discount would be

1 - 0.6318=0.3682

Hence, percentage discount would be 0.3682*100%=36.82%.

For manufacturer B 25/14 chian discount means 25% discount followed by 14% discount. So we have 100-25=75% and 100-14= 86%

Final price would be 0.86*.75=0.645.

Discount= 1 - 0.645= 0.355.

Percentage discount would be 0.355*100%=35.5%.
