Question

    Find the single equivalent discount for successive

    discounts of 12%, 18% and 25% on the marked price of a car.
    A 35.28% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 42.65% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 40.25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 45.88% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, we can say that Let the number be 100. Number after discount =  [100 × (88/100) × (82/100) × (75/100)]= 54.12 ∴ Single equivalent discount = [(100 – 54.12)/100] × 100 = 45.88% ∴ The correct answer is 45.88%.
