Question 52

An article having marked price, ₹900, was sold for ₹648 after two successive discounts. The first discount was 20%. What was the percentage rate of the second discount?

Solution

Let the 2nd discount be x %

According to the question,

$$900\times\frac{80}{100}\times\frac{(100-x)}{100}=648$$

$$1000 - 10x=900$$

$$x=\frac{100}{10}=10$$
