Question

find a single discount equivalent to two successive discounts of
40% and 5% on
an item whose marked price is Rs 100​

Answer 1

Given,

The percentage of two successive discounts are 40% and 5%.

The marked price of the item is Rs. 100

To find,

A single equivalent discount.

Solution,

Let us, calculate the final price after two consecutive discounts on the marked price.

Price after first discount = {100-(100 × 40/100)} = (100-40) = Rs. 60

Price after second discount = {60-(60×5/100)} = Rs. 57

Difference between the final price and the initial price = (100-57) = Rs. 43

Single equivalent discount = (100 × Total discount amount / Initial price) = 100 × 43/100 = 43%

Hence, the single equivalent discount is 43%.
