Two discounts of $40 \%$ and $20 \%$ equal to a single discount of $\%$?

A

$48$

B

Solution

Using net discount formula

$\Rightarrow \quad\left[a+b-\frac{a b}{100}\right] \%$

Here, $a=40 \%, b=20 \%$

Applying both values in above formula:

$\Rightarrow \quad\left[40+20-\frac{40 \times 20}{100}\right] \%=52 \%$
