Question

Applied to a bill for $Rs.100,000$, the difference between a discount of $40\%$ and two successive discounts of $36\%$ and $4\%$ is

• A. $Nil$
• B. $Rs.1440$
• C. $Rs.2500$
• D. $Rs.1960$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $Rs.1440$

Given that:

The amount $=Rs.100,000$

Combine discount after the successive discount of $36$% and $4$%

$=36+4-\frac{36\times 4}{100}$%

$=38.56$%

Required difference $=(40-38.56)$% of $100,000$

$=Rs.1440$
