discounts FAQs

What is an example of dishonest selling?

An example of dishonest selling is when a seller misrepresents the quality or condition of a product to a buyer, leading the buyer to make a purchase based on false information.

How do you solve discount questions?

To solve discount questions, follow these general steps:

  1. Identify the List Price (Original Price): This is the initial price of the item before any discounts are applied.

  2. Determine the Discount Rate: The percentage by which the price is reduced.

  3. Calculate the Discount Amount: Multiply the List Price by the Discount Rate (as a decimal) to find the discount amount.

  4. Find the Selling Price: Subtract the discount amount from the List Price to calculate the final selling price.

  5. Interpret the Question: Understand if you need to find the discount, the selling price, or any other specific information.

  6. Check for Any Additional Information: Sometimes, questions may involve multiple discounts or additional costs like taxes or shipping.

  7. Use Formulas and Logic: For more complex scenarios, use formulas like (1 - Discount Rate) or consider cumulative discounts.

Practice and familiarity with various types of discount problems will help you solve them effectively.

What is the net discount after three successive discounts of 15%, 20% and 25%?

To find the net discount after three successive discounts, you can use the formula:

Net Discount = 1 - (1 - Discount1) × (1 - Discount2) × (1 - Discount3)

In this case, Discount1 is 15% (or 0.15), Discount2 is 20% (or 0.20), and Discount3 is 25% (or 0.25).

Net Discount = 1 - (1 - 0.15) × (1 - 0.20) × (1 - 0.25)

Net Discount = 1 - 0.85 × 0.80 × 0.75

Net Discount = 1 - 0.51 = 0.49

So, the net discount after three successive discounts of 15%, 20%, and 25% is 49%.

How do you find 20% of 50?

To find 20% of 50, you can multiply 50 by 0.20 (which is the decimal equivalent of 20%).

0.20 × 50 = 10

So, 20% of 50 is 10.

What is discount formula?

The formula to calculate the discount amount on an item is:

Discount Amount = Original Price × Discount Rate

Where:

  • Discount Amount is the reduction in the price of the item.
  • Original Price is the initial price of the item before the discount.
  • Discount Rate is the percentage by which the price is reduced.
