Expert Solution

1) Computation of Single Equivalent Rate of Discount:

Single Equivalent Rate of Discount = 1 - (1-D1%) * (1-D2%)

= 1 - [(1- 32%) * (1-18%)]

= 1 - [(0.68) * (0.82)]

= 1 - 55.76%

Single Equivalent Rate of Discount = 0.4424 i.e 44.24%

 

2) Computation of Price of Bike after two discounts:

Price of Bike after two discounts = Final Price after two discounts / (1-Single equivalent rate of discount)

= $97.58 / (1-44.24%)

= $97.58 / 0.5576

Price of Bike after two discounts = $175
