The price of a cycle is reduced by 25 percent. The new price is then reduced by a further 20 percent. The two reductions together are equal to a single reduction of what percentage?

100% − 25% = 75% = 100 75 ​ = 0.75 100% + 20% = 120% = 100 120 ​ = 1.2 1.2 ⋅ 0.75 = 0.9 = 0.9 ⋅ 100% = 90% 100% − 90% = 10% A n s w er : S in g l e re d u c t i o n i s 10%.

The combined effect of two successive price reductions, 25% followed by 20%, results in a total price reduction of 40%. This means applying both reductions sequentially leads to a final price that is 60% of the original price. Therefore, the equivalent single reduction percentage is 40%.
