Answer 1

Answer:

Hey Mate

Ans- discount is 19.04%

Let 'x' be the original price. If you apply an 8% discount, you're basically subtracting 8% of the original price from the original price. In other words, you're doing x-0.08x=0.92x

So after an 8% discount, the new price is 0.92x dollars. Now apply the 12% discount using similar logic to get 0.92x-0.12%280.92x%29=0.92x-0.1104x=0.8096x

So after applying the 8% discount, then the 12% discount, the final sale price is 0.8096x. Subtract the coefficient from 1 to get 1-0.8096=0.1904 and then multiply that result by 100 to get 19.04%

So the overall discount is 19.04%
