Next year, it’ll be $$0.90x × 0.80 = 0.72x$$. For the third year, the price of the car is: $$0.72x × 0.75 = 0.54 x$$ Therefore, $$46\%$$ of the original price is the total reduction of the car’s price. ### More math articles ### What people say about "Ratio, Proportion and Percentages Puzzle - Challenge 28"?
