The difference between a discount of 35% on ₹8,000 and two successive discounts of 20% and 15% on the same amount is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
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
