Q. The price of a garment is reduced by 20 %. During an "early bird" special all garments are marked "take an additional 30 % off reduced price". The two reductions are equivalent to a single reduction of:

• 100 ----20% reduction-----> 80-------30% reduction-------> 56
  so 100------y% reduction-----> 56
  y= 44 % ans (equivalent reduction)

• let total garments=100%
  according to qstn.....20% garments reduced then... initial reduced=20%
  now remaining=80%
  again from qstn...additional 30% reduced so...80*30/100=24%(final reduced)
  so total reduced =(20+24)%=44

• 100/100= 1*20=20
  100-20=80
  80/100=0.8*30=24
  20+24=44
  
  single Reduction =56%
