Free delivery over ₹500. Customer buys items worth ₹480 and pays ₹50 shipping. What % more should he have bought to avoid shipping?

  1. 4%

  2. 4.17%

  3. 5%

  4. 5.18%

Answer: B

Solution

Solution: The additional purchase needed to reach ₹500 is ₹500 − ₹480 = ₹20. The required percentage increase on ₹480 is \(\frac{20}{480}\times100\approx4.17\%\). Trick: Divide the additional amount required by the original purchase amount. Note: The source wording says 'over ₹500'; the marked answer treats ₹500 as the intended threshold.
