Solution : (Single equivalent discount = $(a+b-\frac{a\:×\:b}{100}$)%, where $a$% and $b$% are successive discounts.) Single equivalent discount = $(15+20-\frac{15\:×\:20}{100}$)= 32% After two successive discount cost price = 600 $\times$ 68% = 408 Total cost = 408 + 28 = 436 Selling price = 545 Gain percent = $\frac{545 \:-\: 436}{436}\times 100 = 25$% Hence, the correct answer is $25$%.
