Answer»

Discount offered on first Rs.25000 = 12% of 25000 = Rs. 3000

Discount offered on next Rs. 15000 = 5% of 15000 = Rs. 750

Total Discount offered = 10% of 42000 = Rs. 4200

⇒ Discount offered on LAST Rs. 2000 = 4200 – 3000 – 750 = Rs. 450

Discount Percentage = (450/2000) × 100 = 22.5%

∴ He can AFFORD to give 22.5% discount on the remaining Rs. 2,000 if he is to get as much as when 10% discount is allowed on the total.
