To find the equivalent single discount for successive discounts of 20%, 10%, and 15%, we follow these steps:

- Start with a price, assumed to be 100.

- Apply the first discount of 20%: The price becomes 80.

- Apply the second discount of 10% on 80: The price becomes 72.

- Apply the third discount of 15% on 72: The price becomes 61.2.

- The total reduction from the original price is 100 - 61.2 = 38.8.

Thus, the equivalent single discount is 38.8%.

- Option 1: 42.2%

- Option 2: 43.5%

- Option 3: 38.8%
