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:

First discount = 40%

Marked price = 100

Selling price after first discount = 100-100*(40/100)

= 60

Second discount = 5%

Selling price after second discount = 60-60*(5/100) = 57

Total discount = 100-57 = 43

Total discount in percentage = (43/100)*100% = 43%

Answer 2

Answer:

45% discount -- your answer
