The shopkeeper gives 6 toffees free for every set of 24 toffees
∴ Discount = 6/30 × 100 = 20%
If shopkeeper gives 40% discount, then the number of free toffees = 30 × 40/100 = 12 toffees
On selling 18 toffees = 12 free toffees
∴ On selling 44 toffees = 12/18 × 44 = 29.33 toffees free
So, the nearest integer is 29.
∴ Discount = 6/30 × 100 = 20%
If shopkeeper gives 40% discount, then the number of free toffees = 30 × 40/100 = 12 toffees
On selling 18 toffees = 12 free toffees
∴ On selling 44 toffees = 12/18 × 44 = 29.33 toffees free
So, the nearest integer is 29.
