Let x be the original price of an item. For the first case, the employee avails the 25% first then the 10%. 
                     Price: (0.75x)(0.90) = 0.675x
For the second case, the 10% discount is availed first then, the 25%.
                    Price: (0.90x)(0.75) = 0.675x
Thus, whichever is the case, the price would be the same. The answer is letter D.
