Question

what is thesingle discount equivalent to two successive discounts of 50% and 50%?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the Marked Price = Rs. 100

Discount of 50% = 50/100 × 100

=> Rs. 50

Again a discount of 50%

= 50/100 × 50

=> Rs. 25

With two successive discounts

Decrease % = (100-25) / 100 × 100

Decrease % = 75%

So one single discount of 75% = Two successive discount of 50%
