Question

The regular price of a shoe is $48. The store is having a buy one get one 1/2 off sale. If you buy 2 pairs of shoes for that price, what percent discount is that?

Answer 1

25% discount

Explanation:

48*2=96

However, instead one pair is 50% off. So, one pair will be $48 and another will be $24. So, if you purchase two pairs, you only have to pay$72. 72/96=.75. This means you are paying for 75% of the original price, meaning you got 25% off discount.
