-
- 55%
- 45%
- 52%
- 46%
Correct Option: D
First method to solve this question :
According to given question.
Here, D1 = 10%, D2 = 20%, D3 = 25%
Single equivalent discount
= 100 − | × 100 | |||||||||||
100 | 100 | 100 |
= 100 − | × 100 | |||||||||||
100 | 100 | 100 |
= 100 − | × | × | × 100 | |||
100 | 100 | 100 |
= 100 – 54 = 46%
2nd Method to solve this question :
According to given question.
Single equivalent discount for discounts of 10% and 20%
= | 20 + 10 − | % | |||
100 |
= (30 – 2)% = 28%
Single equivalent discounts for discounts of 28% and 25%
= | 28 + 25 − | % | |||
100 |
= (53 –7)% = 46%
