A single discount equivalent to the successive discounts of \[10\%\], \[20\%\] and \[25\%\] is

\[40\%\]

\[42\%\]

\[44\%\]

\[46\%\]

This question will be solved in two parts :

Part - 1

Calculating Single of discount for successive discounts 10% and 20%

\[=\left(10+20-\frac{\left(10\times 20\right)}{100}\right)\%\]

\[=\left(30-\frac{200}{100}\right)\%\]

\[=\left(30-2\right)\%\]

\[=28\%\]

Part - 2

Calcuating Single of discount for successive discounts 28% and 25%

\[=\left(28+25-\frac{\left(28\times 25\right)}{100}\right)\%\]

\[=\left(53-\frac{28}{4}\right)\%\]

\[=\left(53-7\right)\%\]

\[=46\%\]

What price should a shopkeeper mark on an article costing him \[Rs.200\] to gain \[50\%\].

\[Rs.100\]

\[Rs.200\]

\[Rs.300\]

\[Rs.400\]

CP \[= Rs.200\]

Gain \[= 50\%\]

\[\therefore\] Selling Price

\[=\frac{CP\times \left(100+Gain\%\right)}{100}\]

\[=\frac{200\times \left(100+50\right)}{100}\]

\[=\frac{200\times \left(150\right)}{100}\]

\[=2\times 150\]

\[=300\]

Hence, selling price \[=Rs.300/-\]

A shopkeeper sells an item in \[Rs.210\] to gain \[5\%\]. Find the Cost Price?

\[Rs.180\]

\[Rs.190\]

\[Rs.200\]

\[Rs.210\]

Let the Cost Price \[(CP) = x\],

Then, According to the question

\[SP = (100+5)\% \ of\ CP\]

\[210=\frac{105}{100}\times x\Rightarrow x\]

\[=\frac{\left(210\times 100\right)}{105}\]

\[=2\times 100\]

\[=200\]

Hence, the Cost Price \[(CP)=Rs.200/-\]

If \[10\%, 20\%, 30\%\] are successive discounts, then equivalent discount is

\[34.2\%\]

\[45.4\%\]

\[49.6\%\]

\[50.4\%\]

If \[\left(D_1,D_2,D_3\right)\] are successive discounts, then equivalent discount/overall discount is (in percentage)

\[=100-\left[\left(\frac{100-D_1}{100}\right)\left(\frac{100-D_2}{100}\right)\left(\frac{100-D_3}{100}\right)\times 100\right]\]

\[\therefore\] Equivalent Discount

\[=100-\left[\left(\frac{100-10}{100}\right)\left(\frac{100-20}{100}\right)\left(\frac{100-30}{100}\right)\times 100\right]\]

\[=100-\left[\left(\frac{90}{100}\right)\left(\frac{80}{100}\right)\left(\frac{70}{100}\right)\times 100\right]\]

\[=100-\left[\left(\frac{9}{10}\right)\left(\frac{8}{10}\right)\left(\frac{7}{10}\right)\times 100\right]\]

\[=100-\left[\left(\frac{9\times 8\times 7}{1000}\right)\times 100\right]\]

\[=100-\left(\frac{9\times 8\times 7}{10}\right)\]

\[=100-\left(\frac{504}{10}\right)\]

\[=100-50.4\]

\[=49.6\%\]

\[=\frac{1600\times 100}{80}\]

\[=20\times 100\]

\[=2000\]

Hence, Market Price \[(MP)=Rs.2000/-\]

\[2\] articles are given free on purchasing \[5\] articles. Then, Discount % is _________

\[10\%\]

\[20\%\]

\[30\%\]

\[40\%\]

‘y’ articles (quantity/number) are given free on purchasing ‘x’ articles. Then, Discount %

\[=\left(\frac{y\times 100}{x+y}\right)\%\]

\[\therefore Discount\]

\[=\frac{\left(2\times 100\right)}{2+8}\]

\[=\frac{\left(2\times 100\right)}{10}\]

\[=\frac{200}{10}\]

\[=20\%\]

\[0.9\%\] Profit

\[0.9\%\] Loss

A tradesman marks his goods \[r_1\%\] above his cost price. If he allows his customers a discount of \[r_2\%\] on the marked price. Then his profit or loss percent is

\[\frac{r_1\times \left(100-r_2\right)}{100}-r_2\]

Hence Profit or Loss %

\[=\frac{3\times \left(100-2\right)}{100}-2\]

\[=\frac{3\times 90}{100}-2\]

\[=\frac{270}{100}-2\]

\[=2.7-2\]

\[=0.7\%\]

Positive sign signifies profit of \[0.7\%\]

A tradesman marks his goods \[r_1\%\] above his cost price. If he allows his customers a discount of \[r_2\%\] on the marked price. Then his profit or loss percent is

\[\frac{r_1\times \left(100-r_2\right)}{100}-r_2\]

Hence Profit or Loss %

\[=\frac{4\times \left(100-5\right)}{100}-5\]

\[=\frac{4\times 90}{100}-5\]

\[=\frac{360}{100}-5\]

\[=3.6-5\]
