gave a discount of 20% and then 5%. Find!
the single discount equivalent to these two!
successive discounts.​

Answer 1

Answer:

1000 is the discount given by the shop keeper

Step-by-step explanation:

total discount is 20% and 5% = 20/100 + 5/100 = 25/100 = 1/4

= 4000 x 1/4 = 1000

so total he want to pay

4000 - 1000=3000

Answer 2

Answer:

24%

Step-by-step explanation:

Marked price = 4000

He gave a discount of 20%.

SP = MP - 20% of MP

    = 4000 - (20/100) * 4000

   = 3200

He gave a discount of 5%.

That is applied on 1st selling price.

SP = MP - 5% of MP

    = 3200 - (5/100) * 3200

    = 3040

Total discount = 4000 - 3040 = 960

Total discount % = (Discount/MP) * 100

= (960/4000) * 100

= 24%

Single discount equivalent = 24%

Hope it helps!
