10% discount is offered on an item. By applying a promo code the customer wins 20% cash back. What is the effective discount?
Let the marked price of item = Rs. $$100x$$
Amount after 10Â % discount = $$100x - \frac{10}{100} \times 100x$$
= $$100x - 10x = Rs. 90x$$
Selling price after 20 % cashback = $$90x - \frac{20}{100} \times 90x$$
= $$90x - 18x = Rs. 72x$$
=> Total discounted amount = $$100x - 72x = Rs. 28x$$
$$\therefore$$ Effective discount = $$\frac{28 x}{100 x} \times 100 = 28 \%$$
