Marked price of an item is Rs 900. On purchase of 2 items discount is 6%, on purchase of 3 items discount is 12%. Rajani buys 5 items, what is the
effective discount

• 2 item cost=900 x 2=1800
  discount:6/100 x 1800=108
  and 3 item cost=900 x 3=2700
  discount:12/100 x 2700 =324
  total discount=324+108=432
  so y % of (900 x 5)=432 where y is effective discount
  y=(432 x 100) /4500 =9.6%(ans)

• Discount on 2 items =6*2=12
  Similarly for 3 items =12*3 =36
  Now Avg discount for all 5 items =(12+36)/5=48/5=9.6%

• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(2)
• discount on 2 items= 1800*6/100= 108
  discount on 3 items= 2700*12/100=324
  total discount =108+324=432
  hence effective discount on 5 items= x
  432=4500*x/100 ie x=9.6%
