Question
Find the single equivalent discount for successive
discounts of 12%, 18% and 25% on the marked price of a car.Solution
ATQ, we can say that Let the number be 100. Number after discount = [100 × (88/100) × (82/100) × (75/100)]= 54.12 ∴ Single equivalent discount = [(100 – 54.12)/100] × 100 = 45.88% ∴ The correct answer is 45.88%.
