A shopkeeper gives two successive discounts on an
article marked Rs. 450. The first discount given is
10%, if the customer pays Rs. 344.25 for the article,
then second discount is:

• in 450 rs 10% =45
  450-45=405
  (405/100)*x=344.25
  x=85%
  so 344.25=85%
  second discount is 100-85=15%

• First discount is 10% i.e 10% of 450 = 45
  So the price of the article after first discount is 450-45 = 405
  Price of the article after 2nd discount is 344.25
  So the second discount is = ((405-344.25)/405)*100 = 15%
