Let the price of an object be X. Now we are giving a 25% discount on this object. Which means x-(25/100)X=(3/4)X
Now again take the same object and give 20% off you will get 4/5x.
Now from this 4/5x deduct 5% of 4/5x. you will be left with 19/25x Compare it with 3/4x that is 76/100x >75/100. So a customer benefits from the first offer rather than the second.
Please do ask if you have any doubts and please don't forget to rate the answer brainliest if you are satisfied after all it took time to text and I am desperately in need for one
Thank You!
