Question

A shopkeeper offers a festive offer: buy any three shirts, get two free. Find the equivalent percentage discount for the offer.

• A. 20%
• B. 60%
• C. 30%
• D. 40%

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 40%

Let the price of one shirt = ₹100 (assume)

Actual cost for 5 shirts

$5 \times 100 = 500$
Offer

You pay only for 3 shirts:
$3 \times 100 = 300$
Discount

$500 - 300 = 200$
Discount %

$\frac{200}{500} \times 100 = 40\%$
Final Answer: 40% discount
