Question

a person brought 3 shirts under the "buy 2 get 1 free" scheme for Rs.500. what % of reduction was allowed by the trader? also find the selling price of each shirt of that kind.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Initial price of 1 shirt =500/2=250

But he got 1 shirt at a price 500/3

So discount for 1 shirt= 250-500/3=250/3

So % discount per shirt={(250/3)/250}×100=100/3=33.3%
