Homework Help Forum: Arithmetics

Posted by Eman on Monday, August 31, 2009 at 1:54pm.

What will my peercentage saving be if I buy something in a sale that offers 3 for the price of 2?

    Take the case where each item sells for $3 at regular price.
    If you get 3 for the price of 2, then you pay 2*$3 to get 3 items, so each item costs $2.
    Pecentage saving
    = (discount)/original price
    = ($3-$2)/$3
    = 1/3
    = 33.3%
