Answer:
28.09% is the required single discount.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The successive discounts of 6%, 10%, 15%
To find : A single discount ?
Solution :
Let x be the original price.
Find the price after 6% discount:
6% discount = 0.06x
Price after discount = x - 0.06x = 0.94 x
Find the price after 10% discount:
10% discount = 0.1 (0.94x) = 0.094x
Price after discount = 0.94x - 0.094x = 0.846
Find the price after 15% discount:
15% discount = 0.15 (0.846x) = 0.1269x
Price after discount = 0.846x - 0.1269x = 0.7191x
Find the single discount:
Discount = x - 0.7191x = 0.2809x
Discount percentage = 0.2809 x 100 = 28.09%
Therefore, 28.09% is the required single discount.
