Question

What single discount is equivalent to two successive discounts of 25 and 5?

Answer 1

Answer: 28.75%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the marked price be 100 Rs.

25% discount === 100 * 75/100 = 75 Rs.

Now, 5% discount == 75 * 95/100 = 71.25 Rs.

Total discount = 100 - 71.25 =  28.75 Rs.

Single equivalent discount = Total Discount/Marked price * 100

                                             = 28.75/100 * 100 = 28.75%
