The correct Answer is:
To find the net amount payable after two successive discounts of 10% and 5% on a bill of Rs. 110, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the first discount (10%) - The first discount is 10% of Rs. 110. - First discount = 10% of 110 = (10/100) * 110 = Rs. 11. ### Step 2: Subtract the first discount from the original amount - Amount after the first discount = Original amount - First discount - Amount after the first discount = 110 - 11 = Rs. 99. ### Step 3: Calculate the second discount (5%) - The second discount is 5% of the new amount (Rs. 99). - Second discount = 5% of 99 = (5/100) * 99 = Rs. 4.95. ### Step 4: Subtract the second discount from the amount after the first discount - Amount after the second discount = Amount after the first discount - Second discount - Amount after the second discount = 99 - 4.95 = Rs. 94.05. ### Step 5: Round to the nearest rupee - The final amount payable = Rs. 94.05, which rounds to Rs. 94. ### Final Answer: The net amount of money payable to clear the bill is **Rs. 94**. ---
