The list price of an article is ₹ 80. A customer pays ₹ 30 for it. He was given 2 successive discounts, one of them being 50%. What was the other discount?
Given, Marked Price = Rs.80
Selling Price = Rs.30
Discount = Rs.80-Rs.30 = Rs.50
One discount = 50%
50% of 80 = Rs.40
Let the other discount be x%
$$40 \times \dfrac{100-x}{100} = 30$$
=> 200-2x = 150 => 2x = 50 => x = 25
Therefore, The other discount = 25%
