Correct Answer - Option 4 : 44.44%
Given∶
An offer is running,” Buy any 5 get 4 free”.
Price of one article = Rs. 200
Formula Used∶
Discount = Marked price – Selling Price
Discount % = (Discount / Marked price) × 100
Calculation∶
Total number of articles purchased = 5
Total number of articles got = 5 + 4 = 9 articles
Price of one articles = Rs. 200
M.P of 9 articles = 9 × 200 = Rs. 1800
S.P of 5 articles = 5 × 200 = Rs. 1000
Discount = M.P – S.P
⇒ 1800 – 1000
⇒ Rs. 800
Discount % = (Discount / M.P.) × 100
⇒ (800 / 1800) × 100
⇒ 44.44%
∴ The net discount percentage is 44.44%.
