A scheme like 'Buy 5, Get 6' on the same kind of articles with the same marked price offers a _______ discount.
\(16 \frac{2}{3}\)%
The problem involves a scheme where when you buy 5 items, you get 6 in total. This can be understood as getting 1 additional item free for every 5 items you purchase. To calculate the discount percentage offered by this scheme, we need to determine how much of the total cost is being provided as a discount.
First, let's understand the situation:
- You pay for 5 items.
- You receive 6 items in total.
This implies you only pay for 5/6 of the items.
To find the discount percentage, calculate how much of a discount you receive on the full price of 6 items:
Discount fraction = 1 - (Paid items / Total items received) = 1 - (5/6) = 1/6.
Convert the fraction to a percentage:
Discount percentage = (Discount fraction) × 100 = (1/6) × 100% = 16.67%.
Since 16.67% simplistically approximates to \(16 \frac{2}{3}\)%, which matches the provided option \(16 \frac{2}{3}\)%, the correct answer is indeed \(16 \frac{2}{3}\)%.
