    Convert the two percents into decimals by moving the % sign two places to the left and dropping the % sign.

    25% = 0.25

    65% = 0.65

    (0.65) (0.25) = 0.1625

    Convert the percent into a decimal.

    0.1626 = 16.25%

    So, the answer is 16.25%.

    New price = Price * (1 - 0.25) * (1 - 0.65) = Price*0.75*0.35 = Price*0.2625

    Decrease = 1 - 0.2625 = 0.7375

    73.75% decrease
