Two shopkeepers announce the same price of ₹700 for an article. The first offers successive discounts of 30% and 6% while the second offers successive discounts of 20% and 15%. The difference in their selling price is:

₹ 15.4

Given selling price = 700

Combined discount if two discounts are given = X + y - \(\frac{x × y}{100}\)

First shopkeeper's discount = 30 + 6 - \(\frac{30 × 6}{100}\) = 34.2%

Second shopkeeper's discount = 20 + 15 - \(\frac{20 × 15}{100}\) = 32%

Difference in their selling prices in % = (34.2%) -  (32 ) = 2.2%

Difference in their selling prices= \(\frac{2.2 × 700}{100}\)  = 15.4
