Q5 of 94 Page 142

Find the single discount equivalent to two successive discounts of 20% and 10%.

Let the CP of product is Rs.100


20% discount on CP = Rs.20


Then, Price would be = 100-20


=Rs.80


Now, 10% discount on current price = 10% of Rs.80


= Rs.8


Now, final Selling Price will be = Rs.80 – Rs.8


= Rs.72


Discount Percent =



= 28%


So, successive discount of 20% and 10% is 28%
