Given : Rahim listed the price of two articles in the ratio 2:7. If he gives a discount of 30% on the first article
total discount on both is 40%?
To Find : how much discount will he offer to the second article
Solution:
Price of 1st article = 2P
Price of 2nd article = 7P
Total Price = 9P
Total Discount = 40 % = (40/100) 9P = 3.6P
discount of 30% on the first article, = (30/100)2P = 0.6P
Discount on 2nd article = 3.6P - 0.6P = 3P
Discount % on 2nd article = (3P/7P) * 100
= 42.857 %
discount offer to the second article = 42.857 %
