Question

Two shopkeepers have marked an article at the same price. The first shopkeeper gives 15% discount on it while the second shopkeeper allows two successive discounts of 10% and 5%. Which is the better offer for a customer and why? With full calculation​

Answer 1

Answer:

The first shopkeeper's offer is better for the customer since it allows .50 rupees more discount than that of the 2nd shopkeeper.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume, the marked price was 100 rupees

1st Shopkeeper allows discount = 100 × 15/100 = 15 rupees

2nd Shopkeeper allows discount = 100×10/100 =10 rupees, then again 5% on the discounted price= (100-10) × 5/100 = 4.50 rupees

Total Discount offered by 2nd Shopkeeper= 10+4.5 = 14.5 rupees.
