Question

Successive discount of 10 and 5 is equivalent to

Answer 1

Answer:

14.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever applying two successive discounts, the second discount must be a percentage

of the first discount. In this case, the first discount of 10% reduces the price of 100 to 90.

The second discount of 5% will be on the amount of 90, which is 4.5

Therefore, the successive discounts add up to 10+4.5= 14.5 as a single discount
