Ques - A single discount equivalent to three successive discounts of 5%, 10%, 20% is :
(a) 68.4%
(b) 35%
(c) 31.6%
(d) 32%
Solution -
Let,
MP = 100
Reduced price = 100 × 0.95 × 0.9 × 0.8
= 100 × 0.684
= 68.4
Therefore,
Single discount = (100 - 68.4)%
= 31.6%
Hence,
The correct answer is option (c) 31.6%.
