Question

14. Find the single discount which is equivalent to two successive discounts of 20% and 5.​

Answer 1

Answer:

24%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the marked price =Rs100

After a discount of 20%, the price = 100−20% of100 = 100−  100

20 ×100 = 100−20=80

After a further discount of 5%, price = 80−5% of80 = 80−   5/100 ×80 = 80−4 = Rs76

Final Selling = Rs76

Total Discount = 100−76=Rs24

Thus, discount % =   24 /100 ×100 = 24%
