Step-by-step explanation:

formula for 2 successive discount to single discount

x+y-x*y/100

three successive discounts are 20%,20%,10%

take first two discount 20+20-20*20/100

                                     =40-4=>36%

next 36% and 10% are two successive discounts

36+10-36*10/100

42.4%

next 3 successive discount are 40%,5% and 5%

take first two discounts=40+5-40*5/100

                                      =43%

next 43% and 5% are two successive discounts

43+5-43*5/100
