<PRE><B>Question 927193</B>
A store offers 3 for the price of 2. What is the implied discount
---
Let the price of 2 be $2
Then the price per unit is $1
------
If you get 3 for $2 the new unit price is $2/3 = 66 2/3 cents
-----
Quantity discount:: $1 - 66 2/3 cents = 33 1/3 cents per unit
Percent discount:: (33 1/3)/1 = 33 1/3%
