Question

what is the total percentage discount applied when two successive discounts of 20% and 10% are applicable​

Answer 1

• let total amount be hundred rupees
• then the first discount will be 20 rupees at rate of 20% discount
• remaining money = 100 - 20 =80
• also the second discount will be 8 rupees at rate of 10% discount
• total money discount = 20+8=28
• so total percent = 100 * x/100 = 28
• hundred will cancel by hundred and then X is equals to 28%
• where x is equal to over all total percent discount
