Choices.
A) 45%	B) 62.5%	C) 35%	D) 32.5%	E) 30%
Price = p   initially price reduced by 25% which means new price is 3/4P   Now on this new price further 50percent is reduced which means the new price is merely 50percent of 3/4P   ==&gt; (3/4)x(1/2)P = 3/8P is the new price after both deduction which is 37.5percent of the original value P. This implies this entire series of deduction is worth having discounted 62.5% of P. So answer is 62.5% = 62.5%
