The difference between a discount of 35% on ₹8,000 and two successive discounts of 20% and 15% on the same amount is:

₹240 ₹320 ₹540 ₹800

₹240

First discount = 35% Other discount = 20% and 15% Successive discount =  x + y - \(\frac{x × y}{100}\) Successive discount =  20 + 15 - \(\frac{20 × 15}{100}\) = 32% Difference = 35% - 32% = 3% 3% of 8000 = 240
