Question :- Ajay bought a motor cycle for Rs. 50,000. 2 years later he sold it to Vijay at 10% less of the cost price. Vijay spend 5% of the purchasing price on its maintenance. Later Vijay displayed the sale price of his motorcycle Rs. 50,000. Chetan wanted to purchase it at 15% discount but Vijay gave him two successive discounts of 10% and 5% instead of 15% in one time. What is the actual discount availed by Chetan ?

Answer :-

As we have to find actual discount given to chetan in place of 15% discount .

we will directly work on Last Part only.

It is given that, Chetan wanted to purchase it at 15% discount but Vijay gave him two successive discounts of 10% and 5% instead of 15% in one time.

So,

Let MP of motorcycle vijay display = Rs.100

→ First Discount = 10% .

→ SP = {MP * (100 - Discount%)} / 100

→ SP = { 100 * (100 - 10)}/100

→ SP = (100 * 90)/100

→ SP = Rs.90 .

Now,

MP after first discount = Rs.90

→ Second discount = 5%

→ SP = {MP * (100 - Discount%)} / 100

→ SP = { 90 * (100 - 5)}/100

→ SP = (90 * 95)/100

→ SP = Rs.85.5 .

Therefore,

Total discount given to chetan = MP - SP = 100 - 85.5 = Rs.14.5

Hence,

Discount % = (Discount in Rs. * 100) / MP

→ Discount % = (14.5 * 100) / 100

→ Discount % = 14.5% . (Ans.)

The actual discount availed by Chetan is 14.5% .
