The successive discount of 15%, 20% and 25% on an article is equivalent to the single discount of
Let original price = $$Rs.$$ $$100x$$
After discount of 15%, new price = $$\frac{85}{100} \times 100x=Rs.$$ $$85x$$
Similarly, after discount of 20%, price = $$\frac{80}{100} \times 85x=Rs.$$ $$68x$$
Again, after discount of 25%, price = $$\frac{75}{100} \times 68x=Rs.$$ $$51x$$
$$\therefore$$ Equivalent discount = $$\frac{100x-51x}{100x} \times 100$$
= $$49\%$$
