Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

43%

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling price after 40% discount= MP-D

=100-40%of100

=100-40*100/100

=100-4-=60

Now 5% discount on 60, MP-D

=60-5%of60

=60-5*60/100

=60-3=57

Final selling price= 57

Discount%= (MP-SP)*100/MP

=(100-57)*100/100

=43%
