Given that Marjorie received successive discounts of 25%, 40% and 20% off the original price, on Black Friday.

If Marjorie wanted to purchase the same items this week, the single percent discount she would have to receive off the original prices to get the items for the same price that they were on Black Friday after the three successive discounts is given by

1 - Single Discount = (1 - 0.25)(1 - 0.40)(1 - 0.20) = 0.75 x 0.60 x 0.80 = 0.36

Therefore, single discount = 1 - 0.36 = 0.64 = 64%.
