Question

Which is a better offer : two successive discounts of 20% and 5% or a single diacount of 25%? Give reasons also.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider with an example.

If the price of an article is 100Rs

Case1 : Two successive discount

=>On 100Rs, discount of 20% =20Rs

=>Now,we have to consider remaining for the next discount ie,100-20=80Rs, discount of 5% =4Rs

Therefore, Total discount we get by two successive discount= 20+4=24Rs

or we can do by x+y-(xy/100)

Case2:

On 100Rs, single discount of 25% =25Rs

Clearly, single discount gives a better offer rather than two successive discounts
