A man gets a discount 25% and then 45% on his food bill. How much equivalent single discount does he get?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
25% = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
45% = \(\frac{9}{20}\)
M.P. S.P.
@25% 4 : 3
@45% 20 : 11
Final 80 : 33 = -47
Equivalent single discount = \(\frac{47}{80}\) × 100 = \(\frac{214}{5}\) = 58.75%
