Question

Find a single equivalent discount for the
two successive discounts of 20% and 15%
on an item​

Answer 1

SOLUTION:-

Given:

Two successive discount of 20% & 15% on an item.

To find:

Single equivalent discount.

Explanation:

Using Formula of equivalent discount;

$(A+ B) - ( \frac{AB}{100} )$

So,

•A= 20%

•B= 15%

Therefore,

$= > (20 + 15) - ( \frac{20 \times 15}{100} ) \\ \\ = > 35 - \frac{300}{100} \\ \\ = > 35 - 3 \\ \\ = > 32\%$

Thus,

Single equivalent discount is 32%.

Thank you.
