Question 65

10% discount and then 20% discount in succession is equivalent to total discount of

Solution

Let original price = $$100x$$

After 1st discount of 10% =>$$\frac{10}{100} * 100x = 10x$$

Price = $$100x-10x = 90x$$

After 2nd discount of 20% => $$\frac{20}{100} * 90x = 18x$$

Price will become = $$90x-18x = 72x$$

=> Equivalent Discount % = $$\frac{100x-72x}{100x}$$ * 100 = 28%
