Question 90

30% discount is offered on an item. By applying a promo code the customer wins 20% cash back. What is the effective discount?

Solution

Let the marked price of item = Rs. $$100x$$

Amount after 30 % discount = $$100x - \frac{30}{100} \times 100x$$

= $$100x - 30x = Rs. 70x$$

Selling price after 20 % cashback = $$70x - \frac{20}{100} \times 70x$$

= $$70x - 14x = Rs. 56x$$

=> Total discounted amount = $$100x - 56x = Rs. 44x$$

$$\therefore$$ Effective discount = $$\frac{44 x}{100 x} \times 100 = 44 \%$$
