Answer 1

Answer:

The total on shareholder’s coupon will be 32%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of the cloth be Rs. 100

After giving the commission of 20%, the price will be = Rs. 80

After giving further commission of 15%, the price = 80 - 80 × 15/100

                                                                                 = 80 - 12

                                                                                  = 68 Rs.

Total discount given by the shopkeeper on Rs. 100 = 100 - 68 = 32

Therefore, the total commission given by the shopkeeper = 32%

Hope the answer is helpful.
