Step-by-step explanation:

>> I'm not a professional at math, I just wanted to help out since this doesn't have an answer yet! :D <<

here's the easy explanation:

We have 2% and 3%.

Take them both away from 100 since we're decreasing!

100 - 2 = 98

100 - 3 = 97

Divide them both by 100.

98 --> 0.98

97 --> 0.97

Times them both together!

0.98x0.97 = 0.9506

That's all you gotta do. ^^'

I hope this helped anyone who was struggling!
