Correct Answer - Option 1 : 40%
Given∶
An offer, “Buy 3 get 2 free.”
Formula Used∶
Discount = Marked Price – Selling Price
Discount % = (Discount / Marked Price) × 100
Calculation∶
Let the price of article be ‘x’
Total articles = 3 + 2 = 5
Number of articles buy = 3
M.P of 5 articles = 5x
S.P of 3 articles = 3x
Discount = Marked Price – Selling Price
⇒ 5x – 3x
⇒ 2x
Discount % = (Discount / Marked Price) × 100
⇒ (2x / 5x) × 100
⇒ 40 %
∴ The required discount percent is 40%.
