Find the single equivalent discount to successive discount of 23% and 46%.1. 58.42%2. 34.56%3. 54.56%4. 12.56%

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 58.42%

Given:

Successive discounts = 23% and 46%

Formula used:

When two successive discounts a and b are given, then single discount is calculated as follows ∶

Single discount = [a + b – (ab/100)]%

Calculation:

Single discount = [a + b – (ab/100)]%

⇒ [23 + 46 – (23 × 46/100)]%

⇒ [69 – 10.58]%

⇒ 58.42%

∴ The single equivalent discount is 58.42%.
