Explanation:

Let the marked price of the pant be Rs. 200.
Then marked price of T-Shirt will be Rs. 300
Discounted price of Pant = 200 × 60/100 = Rs. 120
Let the discounted price of T- Shirt be x.
Acoording to the question,
120 + x = 60/100 × (200 + 300)
or, 120 + x = 300
or, x = 180
Discounted offered on the T - Shirt
= 300 – 180 /300 × 100 = 40%
Note: If overall discount is 40% and discount on one part is also 40% then naturally the discount on the second part is also 40%.
