Question

find the single discount which is equivalent to two successive discounts of 20%and 5%​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the marked price = Rs 100

After a discount of 20%, The price = 100 - 20% of 100 = 100 - 20/100 × 100 = 100 - 20 = 80.

After a further discount of 5%, price = 80 - 5% of 80 = 80 - 5/100 × 80 = 80-4 = Rs76.

Final selling = Rs76.

Total discount = 100 - 76 = Rs24

Thus, discount percentage % = 24/100 × 100 = 24%.

Therefore, ANSWER IS EQUAL TO 24
