Question

Find a single rate discount on 50% and 10%?​

Answer 1

Answer:

For example, if the original price was $50 and we have two discounts: 20% and 10% , then we're doing something like this: $50 - 20% = $50 - $10 = $40 .

Answer 2

Answer:

55%

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume 100 rs as display price

50% discount == 50% × 100 = 50/100 × 100 = 50 rs

Now, the price is 50 rs

[100-50 = 50]

Now 10% discount is given.

This is on 50 rs.

Hence, discount = 10% × 50 = 5 rs

Now the price is 50 - 5 = 45 rs.

So, the 100 rs item was bought for 45 rs.

Now, if this was a single discount,

Discount = 100-45 = 55 rs

Discount % = discount/actual price × 100

= 55/100 × 100 = 55%
