    Answer: 576

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Tv price = £800

    % reduction = 20% of original price

    = 20% of £800

    = 20/100 x £800

    = £160

    New price = £800 - £160 = £640

    Last day reduction = 10% of new price

    = 10% of £640

    = 10/100 x £640

    = £64

    Total % reduction = £160 + £64 = £224

    Therefore, the new price after both % reduction = original price - total % reduction

    = £800 - £224

    = £576

    Therefore, the overall reduction in price = £576
