1 packet of biscuit costs Rs16 but the pack of 4 of the same packet of biscuits costs Rs 56. What is the effective discount (in %) on the pack?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 12.5

Cost of 1 pack = Rs 16

Cost of 4 packs = Rs 64

Set of 4 packs = 56

Effective discount = [(64 - 56)/64] × 100

                                 = (8/64) × 100

                                 = 12.5%
