Answer 2

Answer:

The item sold for 64% of the original price.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the sake of simplicity

Let the original price of the item was Rs. 100

Discount offered for spring sale = 20%

Therefore, the selling price of the item in the spring = 100 - 20 = 80

The merchant gives another 20% discount on this for summer season

Therefore, the selling price in the summer season = 80 - 80 × 20/100

                                                                                   = 80 - 16 = 64 Rs.

Now, selling price/Original price = 64/100 = 64%

Therefore, the selling price is 64% of the original price.

Hope the answer provided is helpful.
