Question 13

What will be the net discount (in percentage) for two successive discounts of 20% and 30%?

Solution

Let marked price = Rs. $$100$$

After 1st discount of 20%, price = $$100-(\frac{20}{100}\times100)$$

= $$100-20=80$$

After 2nd discount of 30% (on changed price), selling price = $$80-(\frac{30}{100}\times80)$$

= $$80-24=Rs.$$ $$56$$

$$\therefore$$ Net discount = $$\frac{(100-56)}{100}\times100=44\%$$

=> Ans - (C)
