- purchase of 1 item = discount 5% =(5/100)*200=10
purchase of 2 item so total cost= 200+200=400 discount 14%= (14/100)*400=56
so total discount amount = 56+10=66
now purchase of three items 200*3=600=(66/600)*100=11% discount is answer - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(9) No(0)
- Marked price of an item = 200
Discount on Purchase of 1 item= 200*5/100 =10
Discount on purchase of 2 items = 2*200*14/100 = 56
Discount on three items = 56+10=66
Effective Discount = 66*100 / 600 = 11% - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- discount on three Items:-Discount on one item + discount on two items
( 200 * 5 % ) + ( 400 * 14 %)=66
Now the discount % == (66/600)*100=11%. - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- dicount on purchase of first item= 200*5/100=10
discount on purchase of 2 item= (2*200)*14/100=56
hence total discount on 3 items= 10+56=66
therefore, effective discount on 3 items=x
66=x*600/100 ie x=11% - 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
