The difference between a discount of 35% and two successive discounts of 20% and 20% on a certain bill, was ₹22. Find the amount of the bill.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
First discount = 35%
Two successive discounts of 20% and 20%
Successive discount = x + y - \(\frac{x × y}{100}\)
Successive discount = 20 + 20 - \(\frac{20 × 20}{100}\) = 36%
36% - 35% = 1%
1% = 22
100% = 2200
