Question

find a single discount equivalent to two successive discounts of 20% and 10%
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the marked price be Rs 100

Discount given on it= 20%of 100 = Rs20

Reduced price after first discount =(100- 20)

=Rs 80

Next discount =10% Rs80

=Rs 8

Price after second discount =(80-8)

=72

Selling price = Rs 72

net discount = Marked price - Selling price =Rs(100-72) = 28

Thus net discount on M. p ofRs 100 is Rs28

Single discount equivalent to given successive discounts = 28%
