Answer 1

Hi friend!!

Here is your Answer

______________________________

Let the cp be 100
&
when discount% is 14
then,

discount = 100×14/100
discount= 14
price will be = 86

And when discount in two successive price

then
discount = 100×12/100
discount = 12
price will be = 100-12 = 88
& now again discount of 2%

then

discount = 88×2/100
= 88/50
=1.76rs
and now price will be
= 88-1.76
= 86.24

now compare
first discount= second discount

86 <86.24

so the price will less than paid to first time....



Hope it's helpful dude!☺☺
