Question

If two successive discounts of 40% and 20% are given, then what is the net discount?

• A. 56
• B. 68
• C. 52
• D. 60

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 52

Let the marked price be 100 New price after discount = 100 - (40/100) × 100 = 60 Price after successive discount = 60 - (20/100) × 60 = 48 Total discount = 100 - 48 = 52 Net Discount % = 52%
