A sewing machine with a marked price of Rs. 400 was being sold at a 10% discount for cash payment and during the stock clearance a further discount was offered so that the machine now cost Rs. 342. What was the second discount offered?
Explanation:
If x is the second discount then, (0.9)(400)(1-x)=342
360 – 360 x = 342
⇒ x = 18/360 = 0.05 or 5%
Hence, option (b).
