The answer to this question is 60.
<h3>Answer: See the diagram below</h3>
=====================================
Explanation:
Start at "2" on the number line. If you move to the right 6 steps, each time landing on a tickmark, then you'll arrive at "3" on the number line. This means the interval from 2 to 3 is cut into 6 equal pieces.
In other words, the little tickmarks represent 1/6 of a unit
If we go back to "2" on the number line, and move to the first tickmark, then we arrive at 2 & 1/6. Then the next tickmark would be 2 & 2/6, and so on.
Note how 2/6 = 1/3
So the mixed number 2 & 2/6 = 2 & 1/3
The location of 2 & 1/3 is marked in red in the diagram below.
--------------------------------
The mixed number 1 & 5/6 will be plotted a similar way.
Start at "1" on the number line. Count out 5 spaces until you arrive at 1 & 5/6. This is marked in blue in the same diagram. A shorter way is to start at "2" and count backward 1 tickmark. This works because the "2" is really 1 & 6/6. Going backward one tickmark has that "6/6" bump down to "5/6".

Answer:
Selling price with VAT {15%} = Rs 41400
S.P +15% of S.P =Rs 41400
S.P(1+15%)=Rs 41400
S.P=Rs 41400/1.15
Selling price without VAT =Rs 36000
Again
Discount = 10%
M.P =S.P+ Discount % of M.P
M.P-Discount% of M.P= S.P
M.P(1-Discount%)=Rs 36000
M.P(1-10%)=Rs 36000
M.P=Rs 36000/0.9
Marked Price = Rs 40,000
again
Discount =Discount % of M.P
=10% of 40000
=Rs 4,000
Again
Profit=20%
For 20% profit
Cost price = (S.P*100)/(100+profit%)
=(36000*100)/(100+20)
= Rs 30000
For 24% profit
selling price = (100+profit%)*C.P/100
=(100+24)*30000/100
=Rs 37200
Again
Discount = 40000–37200 = Rs2800
Discount % = discount/M.P*100%
=2,800/40,000* 100 = 7%
Finally
Discount percent to be reduced =10%–7%= 3%
