The equivalent discount percentage corresponding to two successive discounts of 9% and 17%
Formula Used:
Single discount equivalent to two successive discounts of a % and b %
= (a + b - \(\frac{a \space × \space b}{100}\) ) %
Calculation:
Here, a = 17 % , and b = 9 %
So, the single discount = (17 + 9 - \(\frac{17 \space × \space 9}{100}\)) %
⇒ (26 - 1.53) %
⇒ 24.47%
∴ The correct option is 4
