    D 34.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    After first discount of 10%: Price₁ = 2000 × (1 − 10/100) = 2000 × 0.90 = 1800 After second discount of 5%: Selling price = 1800 × (1 − 5/100) = 1800 × 0.95 = 1710 Overall discount = 2000 − 1710 = 290 Overall discount % = (290 / 2000) × 100 = 14.5% Answer: Overall discount = 14.5%
