Answers
Given: Successive discount of 20% and 10% or Single discount of 30%
To find: Which one is better
Find:
Let us assume the marked price to be Rs. 100
a) Successive discount of 20% and 10%
First discount on MP= 20% of Rs. 100
= 20/100 x Rs. 100
= Rs. 20
Price after first discount= Rs. 100 - Rs. 20
= Rs 80
Second discount on MP = 10% of Rs. 80
= 10/100 x Rs. 80
= Rs. 8
Price after second discount= Rs. 80 - Rs. 8
= Rs. 72
The price after consecutive discount= Rs 72
b) Single discount of 30%
Discount on MP= 30% of Rs. 100
= 30/100 x Rs. 100
= Rs. 30
Price after discount= Rs. 100 - Rs. 30
= Rs. 70
According to question,
Price after successive discount > Price after single discount
Rs 72 > Rs. 70
Hence, successive discount of 20% and 10% is better
