3 Successive Discounts = 12%, 20%, 25%
Formula Used:
Equivalent discount = a + b - (a × b)/100
Where a & b are the two successive discounts.
Calculation:
Equivalent discount of 12% & 20% = 12 + 20 - (12 × 20)/100 = 32 - 2.4 = 29.6%
Now, the equivalent discount of 29.6% and 25%
⇒ 29.6 + 25 - (29.6 × 25)/100 = 54.6 - 7.4 = 47.2%
∴ The equivalent discount of 12%, 20% & 25% is 47.2%
Hence, the correct answer is 47.2%.
