Question 19 Back to Exercise
On an order of 5 dozen boxes of a consumer product, a retailer receives an extra dozen free. This is equivalent to allowing him a discount of:

  • A 15%
  • B 16 1/6%
  • C 16 2/3% Correct
  • D 20%
Correct Answer: Option C

Clearly, the retailer gets 1 dozen out of 6 dozens free.

∴ Equivalent discount = 1/6 x 100 = 16 2/3%.
