Answer:
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%.
