Scheme A: Two successive discounts of 15% and 18%
Scheme B: Buy 6 articles and get 2 free
Scheme C: A flat discount of 30%
Solution:
For Scheme A
Effective discount for 15% and 18% = 15 + 18 - (15 × 18)/100
⇒ Effective discount = 33 - 2.7 = 30.3%
For Scheme B
Discount percentage = (Discount/Original price) × 100
(2P/8P) × 100 = 25%
⇒ Discount percentage = 25%
Scheme C
It provides a discount of 30%
∴ Scheme A is the best as it gives the highest discount of 30.3%.
