Henry purchased 3 items during a sale. He received a 20 percent discount off the regular price of the most expensive item and a 10 percent discout off the regular price of each of the other 2 items.

试试看，笨方法一步步来。设最贵价格为 X, 第二贵为 Y，最后一个 Z
问：20%X+10%Y+10%Z > 15% X + 15%Y + 15%Z 吗？
由 （1） 知：X=2.5 Y >2.5Z
则 15%X + 2.5%X + 2.5%X + 10% Y +10%Z > 15%X + 5%Y + 5%Z + 10% Y +10% Z .
ie >15% X + 15%Y + 15%Z
