Question

Taking a discount of 50% off followed by a discount of 50% off results in a totsl discount of

a: 25%
b: 50%
c: 75%
d: 100%

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is c - 75%

Step-by-step explanation: If you are taking a discount of 50%, and then 50% again, you will have a total discount of 75%.

Let’s use an item that is $100 as an example.

$100 x 50% = $50

Now, take 50% off of $50

$50 x 50% = $25

An item that was $100 ends up being $25, or 75% less, than the original price.
