Question

Find the single discount, equivalent to two successive discount of 10% and 50%

Answer 1

Let M.P. be 100
1st Discount =10% of 100=10
Since, 100-10 =90
2nd Discount = 50% of 90 = 45
SP = 90 -45 =45
Single equivalent discount = MP - SP=100-45=55
Since , the discount of 55 is on 100
Therefore, Required single discount = 55%
