Solution

Let the amount of bill be $Rs$ $x$.

$1st$ discount $=35 \%$

$2nd$ discount $=20 \%$, each two times in succession.

$\therefore$ Equivalent discount for $2 nd$ one $=\left(-20-20+\frac{400}{100}\right) \%=-36 \% \quad 36 \%$ decrease

$\therefore$ Difference of discounts $=x(36-35) \%=22$

$x \times \frac{1}{100}=22$

$x=Rs. 2200$
