Question

A discount of 10 percent was given. If a further discount of 10percent was given in the reduced price, calculate the total single discount given in the marked price .​

Answer 1

let marked price = x

on 10% discount, price= x-10%of x

=x-(10x/100)

=x-(x/10)

=9x/10

on further 10% discount, total discount = 10% of 9x/10

=10/100 * 9x/10

= 9x/100

= 9%of x

hence, the single discount given on marked price is 9%
