Answer 2

Answer:

The discount percentage allowed by the seller for 12 magazines is 33.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

One magazine will be given out when two publications are purchased, according to the magazine vendor.

To find :

Discount percentage permitted by magazine vendor on a purchase of 12 magazines.

Solution :

Lets say that the price of one magazine is 100 rs

Therefore the price of 2 magazines will be 200 rs

And similarly the price of 12 would be 1200 rs

But we know that according to our question the magazine vendor is giving a free magazine for every 2 purchase so when we buy the 12 magazines, we get 6 magazines for free, which is total of 18 magazines and total worth of 1800 rs.

So the profit received when we buy 12 magazines and get 18 is = 1800-1200 = 600 rs

Therefore,

(Profit receives while buying 12 magazines/ original price of 18 magazines) x 100 = (600/1800) x 100 = 33.33%

Hence according to our above calculation, the discount percentage permitted by the seller on 12 magazines is 33.33%
