Question 108

What will be the net discount (in percentage) after two successive discounts of 50% and 50%?

Solution

Let marked price = Rs. 100

Selling price after first discount of 50% = $$100-(\frac{50}{100}\times100)$$

= $$100-50=Rs.$$ $$50$$

Similarly, selling price after second discount of 50% = $$50-(\frac{50}{100}\times50)$$

= $$50-25=Rs.$$ $$25$$

$$\therefore$$ Net discount = $$\frac{(100-25)}{100}\times100=75\%$$

=> Ans - (B)
