Question 79

If two successive discounts of 50% and 10% are offered, then what is the net discount (in %)?

Solution

Let list price = Rs. $$100x$$

After first discount of 50%, price = $$100x \times \frac{(100-50)}{100}=50x$$

After second discount of 10%, price = $$50x \times \frac{(100-10)}{100}=45x$$

=> Equivalent discount = $$\frac{100x-45x}{100x} \times 100$$

= $$55\%$$

=> Ans - (B)
