A shopkeeper offers two successive discounts of 25% and 10% on an item with a marked price of ₹1,200. What is the effective discount percentage offered to the customer?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Given:
First discount = 25%
Second discount = 10%
By the formula:
Effective discount = a + b − (ab/100)
Effective discount = 25 + 10 − (25 × 10 / 100) = 32.5%
