Question

single discount equivalent to two successive discount of 20% and 5% ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First Discount = 20%,

Let the main price be X,

Then, fist discount = X/5,

now, price after cutting the discount = X-X/5,

= 4X/5,

Now, second discount = 5% = 4X/25.

So, price after cutting the discount = 4X/5-4X/25,

= 16X/25.

Then the price discounted = 4X/25.

Percentage of the total discount offered = (4X/25* 1/X* 100)%,

Which is equal to, 16%.

Now, that's the correct answer.
