Question

The selling price of a dress in a shop was reduced by 5% during a christmas sale.on account of new year , the price was further reduced by 20%. What is total discount percentage from the original price of the dress?​

Answer 1

Answer:

24% discount from original price.

Step-by-step explanation:

let's be the original price be RS 100.

then ,

discount on Christmas sale = 5% of 100.

= RS 5

so,. discounted price = 100 - 5 = RS 95

since,

discount on new year sale = 20% of 95.

=RS 19

so, discounted price = 95 - 19 = RS 76.

total discount = 19 +5 = 24.

discount percentage from original price =

24

---------×100= 24%

100

hence total discount = 24%
