Question : Two successive discounts of 30% and 20% are equivalent to a single discount of:
Option 1: 44%
Option 2: 52%
Option 3: 45%
Option 4: 50%
Correct Answer: 44%
Solution : Given: Two successive discounts of 30% and 20%. Single equivalent discount = $(a+b-\frac{a×b}{100})\%$, where $a=30\%$ and $b=20\%$ are successive discounts. $=30+20-\frac{30\times 20}{100}$ $=50-6$ $=44\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 44%.
