Question: The discount offer “Buy 2 and get 3” is equivalent to what percentage discount?
Answer:
Approach Solution (1):
Let each item be of 100
So 2 * 100 = 200 is given
Profit of 300 – 200 = 100
% = \(100 *\frac{100}{300}\)= 33.33%
Correct Option: C
Approach Solution (2):
Let the price of the commodity is ‘x’
Price of 2 nos of commodities = 2x
Price of 3 nos of commodities = 3x
Discounted price = 3x – 2x = x
So,
% discount = \(\frac{Discounted price}{Total price}*100=\frac{x}{3x}*100=33.33\)%
Correct Option: C
