A discount store lists an article for $875.00 less 25% and 20.5%. a competitor carries the same article for $847.90 less 21.5%. What further discount (correct to the nearest   of 1%) must the competitor allow so that its net price will be the same as that of the discount store?

Net price of discount store = 875(1-0.25)(1-0.205) = $521.72
Net price of competitor = 847.90(1-0.215) = 665.60
Additional discount needed = 665.60 - 521.72 = 143.88
Additional percent discount =   = 21.61681%
