25% discount is offered on an item. By applying a promo code the customer wins 22% cash back. What is the effective discount?
Let the marked price of item = Rs. $$100x$$
Amount after 25 % discount = $$100x - \frac{25}{100} \times 100x$$
= $$100x - 25x = Rs. 75x$$
Selling price after 22 % cashback = $$75x - \frac{22}{100} \times 75x$$
= $$75x - 16.5x = Rs. 58.5x$$
=> Total discounted amount = $$100x - 58.5x = Rs. 41.5x$$
$$\therefore$$ Effective discount = $$\frac{41.5 x}{100 x} \times 100 = 41.5 \%$$
