The marked price of a chair and a table are in the ratio 2:3 respectively. The shopkeeper gives 20% discount on the chair. If the combined discount on both the chair and the table is 26%, then what will be the discount given on the table?
Let the price of Chair and Table be Rs.200 and Rs.300 respectively.
Discount on table = 20% of Rs.200 = Rs.40
Let discount on chair be x%
Then, Discount on table = x% of 300 = Rs.3x
Total discount on chair and table together = 26% of 500 = Rs.130
Rs.40+Rs.3x = Rs.130
=> 3x = 90 => x = 30
Hence, Discount given on table = 30%
