Successive discounts of 2%
Successive discounts of 2% and 21% are equivalent to what single discount?
2% और 21% की क्रमिक छूट किस एकल छूट के बराबर है?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Correct Answer:
22.58%
To find the single equivalent discount of successive discounts, we use:
Single discount
$ = a + b - \frac{ab}{100} $
where $a = 2%$ and $b = 21%$.
Step 1: Substitute values
$ = 2 + 21 - \frac{2 \times 21}{100} $
Step 2: Simplify
$ = 23 - \frac{42}{100} $
$ = 23 - 0.42 $
$ = 22.58% $
Answer: 22.58%
