Question

which is better deal for a customer , a single discount of 14 % or two successive discounts of 12 % and 2 %​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let's check it out.

Let the price of an article be Rs.100.

Single discount of 14% on Rs100

=14×100/100=Rs.14

Price after discount is

100-14= Rs.86.........(i)

Now, first discount of 12%

= 12×100/100=Rs. 12

Price after discount is

100-12=Rs.88

Now discount of 2% on 88

=2×88/100=Rs.1.76

Price after discount is

88-1.76=Rs. 86.24......(ii)

As (i)<(ii), the customers are paying less amount when they are given a single 14% discount.

Hence, 14% discount is a better deal.
