- Let's break down the successive discounts:

- First, apply a 20% discount. If the original price is considered as 100%, then after the first discount, the price becomes 80%.

- Next, apply a 10% discount on the new price (80%). This means the price becomes 90% of 80%, which is 72% of the original price.

- Therefore, the price after both discounts is 72% of the original, which means a total discount of 28% from the original price.

- Let's evaluate the options:

- Option 1 (18%): The price would be 82% of original, incorrect for our case.

- Option 2 (28%): Matches exactly with the total discount calculated.

- Option 3 (24%): The price would be 76%, incorrect for our scenario.

- Option 4 (22%): The price would be 78%, also incorrect.

- Correct Answer: Option 2 (28%)
