1) 150(1-.10) = 150(.90) = 135
135(1-.20) = 135(.80) = 108
108(1-.05) = 108(.95) = 102.6
2) 35.99 - 16.55 = 19.44
19.44/16.55 = 117.46%
3) 39.99(1-.55) = 39.99(.45) = 18.00

1. $150 x .10 = 15, so 150-15 = 135
then 135 x .20 = 27, so 135-27=108
then 108 x .05 = 5.40, so 108 - 5.40 = 102.60

Now you do the rest
