To find a single equivalent discount for successive discounts of 10%, 16%, and 25%, you can calculate as follows:

- Start with the original price, 100%.

- Apply the first discount: 100% - 10% = 90%.

- Apply the second discount on the new base: 90% - (16% of 90%) = 75.6%.

- Apply the third discount: 75.6% - (25% of 75.6%) = 56.7%.

The equivalent single discount is:

- 100% - 56.7% = 43.3%.

- Option 1: 42%

- Option 2: 46.5%

- Option 3: 41%

- Option 4: 43.3%
