The price of a cycle is reduced by 25%. The new price is reduced by a further 20%. The two reductions together are equal to a single reduction of-
Let the original price of the cycle be Rs. 100.
First reduction = 25% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 25.
New price = Rs. 100 - Rs. 25 = Rs. 75
Second reduction = 20% of Rs. 75 = Rs. 15.
Final price = Rs. 75 - Rs. 15 = Rs. 60.
Total reduction = Rs. 40.
Percentage reduction = (40/100)*100 = 40%
The answer is 40%.
