An article is sold for ₹840 after two successive discounts of 20% and 30% on its marked price. What is the discount (in ₹)?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Selling price = 840
Two discounts are = 20% and 30%
Combined discount = X + y - \(\frac{x × y}{100}\)
Combined discount = 20 + 30 - \(\frac{20 × 30}{100}\) = 44%
(100-44 = 56)% of MP = 840
44% of MP = Rs.660(Discount)
