Step 1
Lets assume price of article = x
After discount of 45\% price = 55 100 x = ( 11 20 x )
Price after discount of 10% on 11 20 x = 90 100 × 11 90 x = 99 200 x
After discount of 5% on 99 200 x = 99 200 x × 95 100 = 19 20 × 99 200 x
= ( 1881 4000 ) x
P = 0.47025 x
Step 2
Total discount = x 0.47025 x
= 0.52975 x
%discount = 0.52975 x x × 100 = 52.975 %
