Two successive discounts of 10% and 5%, in this order, are given on a bill of 110. Find the net amoum of money payable to clear the bill.

Correct option is A

Given:

- Original Bill = ₹110
- First Discount = 10%
- Second Discount = 5%

Formula Used:

The formula for successive discounts:

$$\text{Net Price} = \text{Original Price} \times \left( 1 - \frac{\text{First Discount}}{100} \right) \times \left( 1 - \frac{\text{Second Discount}}{100} \right)$$​

Solution:

1. Calculate the price after the first discount:

$$\text{After First Discount} = 110 \times \left( 1 - \frac{10}{100} \right)$$​


= $$110 \times 0.90 = 99$$​


2. Calculate the price after the second discount:

$$\text{After Second Discount} = 99 \times \left( 1 - \frac{5}{100} \right)$$​


= 99 $$\times$$​ 0.95 = 94.05

Final Answer:

The net amount payable is ₹94.05
