Question: A bike originally cost Tk. 1000 and was discounted 10%. After three months it was sold after being discounted another 15%. How much was the bike sold for?

Solution:
Given
Original price = Tk. 1000
10% discounted price = 1000 - (10% of 1000)
= 1000 - (10/100 of 1000)
= Tk. 900

The bike was sold after another 15% discount.
∴ 15% of Tk. 900 = Tk. (15/100 of 900)
= Tk. 135

∴ Selling price= Tk. (900 - 135)
= Tk. 765
