Question

A shopkeeper offers successive discounts of 8% and
5% on an item. What will be the billing price of the
item if it has a marked price of 3,600?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given, M.P= Rs. 80

Two successive Discount each =5%

∴ S.P after first discount=80−5% of 80

$= > 80 - \frac{5}{100} \times 80$

⇒80−4= Rs. 76

Selling price after second discount =76−5% of 76

$= > 76 - \frac{5}{100} \times 76$

⇒76−3.80= Rs. 72.20
