Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFFormula used:
Effective discount = x + y - (x × y)/100
effective discount = (Article get free)/(Total articles) × 100
Calculation:
Scheme I. Buy 3 get 4 free
So, effective discount for scheme A is = (Article get free)/(Total articles) × 100
= 4/(4 + 3) × 100 = 57.12%
Scheme II. Buy 5 get 6
So, effective discount for scheme B is = (Article get free)/(Total articles) × 100
= 6/(6 + 5 ) × 100 = 54.54%
A has the maximum discount percentage.Last updated on Jul 17, 2025
