Give best answer ​

Answer 1

$\huge\boxed { {\mathfrak \pink{Solution:-}}}$

Let the marked price be x

First discount= Rs 25

Price after first discount= Rs 75

$\boxed { \mathfrak\red{Second \: discount = \frac{75 \times 5}{100} }}$

$\boxed { \mathfrak\red{Second \: discount = rs \: 3.75}}$

Price after second discount= Rs 75 - Rs 3.75

= Rs 71.25

$\boxed { \mathfrak\orange{total \: discount = \frac{100 - 71.25}{100} }} \:$

$\star \boxed { \mathfrak{Total \: discount = \: 28.75\% }}$
