SSC Selection Post - Matriculation Level 2019 - 14 Oct 2019 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q52

A man gets a discount of 32% and then 25% on his shopping bill of ₹5000. What is the total discount percentage he got?
 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 49%

Original price = ₹5000
After 32% discount = ₹5000 × 0.68 = ₹3400
After 25% discount = ₹3400 × 0.75 = ₹2550

Total discount = ₹5000 − ₹2550 = ₹2450

Discount % = (2450/5000) ​× 100 = 49%​
