Answer 1

Answer:

The second discount was 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the second discount be r%

After offering the first discount, the price of the article

$=8400-8400\times\frac{15}{100}$

$=8400-84\times 15$

$=8400-1260$

$=7140$

After offering the second discount, the price is 6426

Therefore,

$7140-7140\times\frac{r}{100}=6426$

$\implies 714\times\frac{r}{10}=714$

$\implies r=10$

Therefore, the second discount was 10%

Hope this helps.
