The third shopkeeper allows two successive discounts of 30% and 10%. From which shopkeeper does the customer get more profit?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Third.
Successive discounts of 25% and 15% = 25 + 15 - (25 × 15)/100 = 25 + 15 - 3.75 = 36.25%
Successive discounts of 20% and 20% = 20 + 20 - (20 × 20)/100 = 20 + 20 - 4 = 36%
Successive discounts of 30% and 10% = 30 + 10 - (30 × 10)/100 = 30 + 10 - 3 = 37%
The third shopkeeper is giving the maximum discount.
Therefore, the customer will get more profit from the third shopkeeper.
