The price of a candy bar is Rs. 80. The price of a box containing the same 12 candy bars is Rs. 720. The box of 12 Candy bars is what percentage cheaper than purchasing 12 candy bars individually?

Correct answer: A. 25%

  • A. 25%
  • B. 30%
  • C. 40%
  • D. 50%

Explanation

To find out how much cheaper it is to buy the box of candy bars than buying them individually, first calculate the cost of buying 12 candy bars individually: 12 * Rs. 80 = Rs. 960. The box costs Rs. 720, so the difference is Rs. 960 - Rs. 720 = Rs. 240. To find the percentage discount, divide the savings by the original cost: (Rs. 240 / Rs. 960) * 100% = 25%. Thus, buying the box is 25% cheaper. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the percentage savings calculated.
