On an order of $5$ dozen boxes of a consumer product, a retailer receives an extra dozen free. This is equivalent to allowing him a discount of:

  1. $15\%$
  2. $\frac{97}{6}\%$
  3. $\frac{50}{3}\%$
  4. $20\%$

So, for every 5 dozen he orders, he gets 1 dozen free. This is equivalent of paying for only $\frac{5}{6}$ of your order, therefore, $\frac{1}{6}$ discount.

To convert this to percentage we multiply by 100 to get $\frac{1}{6} \times 100 = \frac{50}{3}$.

So the answer is 3.
