Download Solution PDFGiven:
Two successive discounts of 50% and 40%.
Concept:
The formula for successive discounts is D = 100 − [100 − (d1)] [100 − (d2)]/100,
where D is the total discount, and d1 and d2 are the two given discounts.
Solution:
⇒ D = 100 − [100 − (50)][100 − (40)]/100
⇒ D = 100 − [50 × 60]/100
⇒ D = 100 − 30 = 70%
Therefore, two successive discounts of 50% and 40% are equivalent to a single discount of 70%.
