Question:

A seller gives 4 toys free of cost on buying 14 toys. What percent does the customer get as a discount?

Options:

$21\frac{2}{9}$%

$22\frac{2}{9}$%

$24\frac{2}{9}$%

$23\frac{2}{9}$%

Correct Answer:

$22\frac{2}{9}$%

Explanation:

A seller gives 4 toys free of cost on buying 14 toys means -

CP = 4 + 14 = 18

Free articles = 4

Discount Percentage = \(\frac{Free \; articles}{CP}\) × 100

Discount Percentage = \(\frac{4}{18}\) × 100 =  22\(\frac{2}{9}\)%
