Question

Find the single discount in percentage which is equivalent to two successive discounts of
25 and 20% given on an article.

Let the marked price of an article be Rs 100.
First discount of 25%=100×25/100= Rs25
Price after first discount=100-25= Rs 75
Second discount of 20%= 75x20/100 Price after second discount =75-15= Rs 60 Therefore, Net selling price= Rs 60 Therefore, single discount in percentage equivalent to two given successive discounts=(100-60)% =40%. Explain the answer.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the marked price of an article be Rs 100.

First discount of 25%=100×25/100= Rs25

Price after first discount=100-25= Rs 75
