Correct answer is: 17 Explanation: According to the question, Cost of one apple = Rs. 25 ∴ Cost of 12 apples = 25 × 12= Rs.300 ∴ Amount paid = Rs. 250 ∴ Discount = 300 - 250 = Rs. 50 % Discount = $\frac{{50 \times 100}}{{300}} = 17{{\% \;}}\left( {{\text{approx}}.} \right)$ ∴ The required answer is 17% Nithin ? answered undefined All Comments
