Answer 1

2) the meaning of the successive discount is the discount over the discount.

3) And here is the direct formula for the successive discount

      -x% - y% + (x * y)/ 100

    -19 -17 + 19 * 17 / 100

     - 36 + 3.23

     - 32.77%

so the single multiplier for the above two percentage is the 32.77%.
