Question:

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.

Options:

₹2,800

₹2,200

₹3,200

₹2,000

Correct Answer:

₹2,200

Explanation:

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
