$)86020x(42 \div - + {.0 \sqrt[ \sqrt{daa} ]{?} \times \frac{?}{?} }^{2}$

$agaha0 { {1 {?}^{2} }^{2} }^{2} \times \frac{?}{?}$

Answer 2

Given:

Three successive discounts are 29%, 34%, and 15%

To find:

A single equivalent discount

Solution:

A single equivalent discount is 60.17%.

We can find the discount by following the given steps-

We know that a seller can provide successive discounts to its customers that are calculated on the marked price of the item.

The successive discounts given by Matt are 29%, 34%, and 15%.

To calculate a single equivalent discount, we need to take the successive discounts two at a time.

If two successive discounts, x, and y, are given, a single equivalent discount=x+y-xy/100.

We will use this concept to calculate an equivalent discount.

In case 1, we will take 29% and 34% discounts to calculate the total discount.

The total discount due to 29% and 34%= 29+34-(29×34/100)

=63-9.86

=53.14%

Now in case 2, we will take 53.14% and 15% to calculate the total discount.

The total discount due to 53.14% and 15%= 53.14+15-(53.14×15/100)

=68.14-7.97

=60.17%

So, the total single equivalent discount is 60.17%.

Therefore, a single equivalent discount is 60.17%.
