successive discounts.

Answer 1

Answer:

$1000 \times \frac{20}{100} \\ = 200 \\ = naw \: the \: price \: is \: 1000 - 200 \\ = 9800 \\ then \: 5\%discound \\ = 9800 \times \frac{5}{100} \\ = 490 \\ naw \: price \: is \: 9800 - 490 = 9310$

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Marked Price = Rs.1000

First Discount = 20% of Rs.1000 = Rs.200

Selling Price = Rs.(1000 - 200) = Rs.800

Second Discount = 5% of Rs.800 = Rs.40

Hence, final selling price = Rs.(800 - 40) = Rs.760

Total Discount = Rs.(200 + 40) = Rs.240

Discount% = 240/1000 × 100 = 24%

Therefore, 24% discount is equivalent to these two successive discounts.
