Question:

If two successive discounts of 10% and 5%, are given, then what will be the net discount percentage?

Options:

12.5%

15.5%

14.5%

16.5%

Correct Answer:

14.5%

Explanation:

If first discount = x

If second discount = y

then,

Successive discount = x + y - \(\frac{x × y}{100}\)

Successive discount = 10 + 5 - \(\frac{10 × 5}{100}\) = 14.5%
