a shop offers 5% discount to all customer and for members it offers 15% additional discount. if shopkeeper , by mistake, took 40,000 from a member for an article whose original price was 50,000, how much did the member gain

• Rs 375
  
  Actual selling price should be 50000*0.95*0.85 = 40375
  
  But he gave flat discount of 5+15= 20% and charged 50000*0.8= Rs 40000 by mistake.

• The total discount to the member is 20%.
  20% of 50000 is 10000.
  Hence,no extra gain to the member since 50000-40000=10000.
