Step-by-step explanation:
___________________________________
First, find the complement of each discount rate; then, multiply each complement. Subtract the final result from 100% .
__________________________________________
100% – 5 = 0.95 .

100% – 4 = 0.96 .

100% – 1 = 0.99 .

0.95 * 0.96 * 0.99 = 0.90288 .

1.0000 – 0.90288 = 0.09712 ; which is: Answer choice: [C] .
