the price of a cycle is reduced by 25 per cent . the new price is reduced by a further 20 per cent . the two reductions together are equal to a single reduction of
"explanation : let the original price of the cycle be 100 . after the first reduction the price will be 75 . this new price is then reduced by 20 % = 0.8 x 75 = 60 60 represents a reduction of 40 percent on the original . answer : b ) 40 %"
subtract(const_100, multiply(divide(subtract(const_100, 20), const_100), subtract(const_100, 25)))
