Question : A single discount equivalent to the series of discounts 20%, 10%, and 5% is equal to:

Option 1: 32%

Option 2: 30%

Option 3: 30.7%

Option 4: 31.6%

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 31.6%


Solution : We know, 
Equivalent discount = $(a+b–\frac{a×b}{100}$)%, 
where $a,b$ are successive discount.
So, $20+10-\frac{20\times 10}{100}=28$%
Now again $a = 28$% and $b = 5$%
So, $28+5-\frac{28\times 5}{100}=31.6$%
Hence, the correct answer is 31.6%.
