Answer 1

Answer:

SP after first discount=50% of 3600=5*30=150

SP market price minus discount=3600-150=3450

SP after second discount equals to 25% of3450=862.5

SP SP equals to market price minus discount = 3450 - 8 6 2.5=2587.5

final price rupees 258 7.5

Answer 2

Answer:

Here d1=15 and d2=20

therefore, (SP after two discount of 15% and 20%)

=1-(d1/100) (1-d2/100)MP

=(1-15/100)(1-20/100)MP

=17/20×4/5×MP=17/25×MP

=68/100×MP=(1-32/100)×MP

SP after a single discount of 32%

Hence, the single discount is equal to the two successive discount is 32%.
