The marked price of an item ₹ 25,000. Under a scheme,successive discounts of 10% and 8% are given on it. Find the total discount given while selling the item under the given scheme.

Correct option is C

Given:

Marked price = ₹ 25,000

Successive discounts = 10% and 8%

Formula Used:

Total discount % = $$d_1 + d_2 - \frac{d_1 \times d_2}{100}$$​​

Where $$d_1$$​ and $$d_2$$​ are successive discount percentages.

Total discount amount = (Total discount %) × Marked price ÷ 100

Solution:

Total discount % = 10 + 8 - $$\frac{10 \times 8}{100}$$​​
= 18 - 0.8 = 17.2%

Total discount amount = $$\frac{17.2}{100} \times 25000$$​ = ₹ 4300

Total discount given = ₹ 4300
