3 Find the single discount equivalent to two successive discount of 8% and 5%

Answer»

Let COST of the article be Rs.100

Value of the article after FIRST discount of 8%=100−1008×100=Rs.92

If SECOND discount is 5%, then discount AMOUNT =92−1005×92=Rs.85.4

Final value of the article =Rs.85.4

NET discount amount =100−85.4=14.6%

Net discount =14.6%
