Correct Answer - Option 2 : 37.5%
Given∶
An offer, “Buy 5 get 3 free.”
Formula Used∶
Discount = Marked Price – Selling Price
Discount % = (Discount / Marked Price) × 100
Calculation∶
Let the price of article be ‘x’
Number of articles buy = 5
Total number of articles got = 5 + 3 = 8
M.P. of 8 articles = 8x
S.P of 5 articles = 5x
Discount = M.P. – S.P.
⇒ 8x – 5x
⇒ 3x
Discount % = (Discount / M. P.) × 100
⇒ (3x / 8x) × 100
⇒ 37.5 %.
∴ The required discount percentage is 37.5%.
