``Buy 3, get 2 free'' is equivalent to purchasing five at a discount of what percent?
+128475 We are receiving 5 but only paying for 3
To find the discount...we have
(5 - 3 )
_____ * 100% =
5
2 / 5 * 100% =
200/5 % =
40% discount
+220 To figure this problem out, let's use some logic of percentages.
Buy 3, get 2 free is saying to pay 60% of the price because 3/5 is 60%. 100%-60% is equivalent to 40% total.
The discount is 40%.
