Answer» Let, marked PRICE = x After first discount of 20%, price = x - x × 20/100 = 0.8x After second discount of 25%, price = 0.8x - 0.8x × 25/100 = 0.6x After third discount of 15%, price = 0.6x - 0.6x × 15/100 = 0.51x ∴ Net discount percentage, $(\RIGHTARROW \frac{{x - 0.51x}}{x} \times 100\%)$ ⇒ 49% |
