May be this is a basic mathematical question, however I could not figure out how to calculate the following:I Have two levels of percentage discounts, one, suppose 5%, which is a percentage of discount from Gross Revenue and Second level, suppose 7%, which is percentage of discount from Net Revenue, I need to figure out what will be the second level of discount from Gross Revenue? (OF course it will be less than 7%, but exactly what will be this percentage).
The issue is that neither Gross or Net Revenues are known.
Is it possible? Looking forward to hearing from you.

Not possible with information given. Two possible solutions are
(1) Gross=10, Net = 1; 5% of Gross = 0.50 and 7% of Net = 0.07 = 0.7% of Gross
(1) Gross=10, Net = 2; 5% of Gross = 0.50 and 7% of Net = 0.14 = 1.4% of Gross
You will need some relationship between Gross and Net.

Is this example what you mean:
Code: 
GROSS                  1000.00
  Less 5% : -50.00[1]   950.00
  Less 7% : -62.15[2]   887.85 = NET

[1]: 1000.00 * .05 = 50.00
[2]:  887.85 * .07 = 62.15

Correct, I mean exactly the case you mentioned.

So 0.05 gives the discount from Gross (which is in this case 50) and 0.07 gives the discount from NET, as far as 0.07 is based on Net amount not gross.

However as I mentioned in my question, I need to translate this 0.07 to percentage which will be based on Gross (of course it will be less than 0.07).

Is it possible?
