The difference between a discount of 27% and two successive discounts of 20% and 10% on a certain bill was ₹56. Find the amount of the bill.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. ₹5,600.
Given that
The two successive discounts of 20% and 10%
The single discount = 27%
According to the question
The single discount is equivalent to the two successive discounts = 20 + 10 - 200/100 = 30 - 2 = 28 %
Now, the required difference of percentage = 28% - 27% = 1% = ₹56
100% = ₹5600
Hence, The amount of the bill is ₹5600
