Yes, another math question

OK, this is simple right! ??!?  

Please let me know what the discount 

Item (1) @ $6.49
** Buy 3, get 2 free
(So, 3 would cost $19.47.  I would be able to add 2 more to the cart making it 5 for that price because 2 are free.  However, to look at it another way, each one of the 5 would cost $3.90.  Is that correct?

QUESTION - what would the percentage be?  I'd like to know if those numbers reflect what would be similar to a 20%, 30% or whatever savings.

*********

Same premise -

Buy 2, get 1 free
Same price $6.49 x 2 = $12.98 
Add 1 for free
$12.98/3 = $4.33 for EACH 1 
That would be a 33% savings?  

I can't believe I'm asking this but would like to know what each savings would be for each scenario.

Thanks!

Buy 3 get 2

discount would be 2/5 * 100% so 40% off

Buy 2 get 1

discount would be 1/3 * 100% so 33% off

ETA: 

basically buying 5 for the price of 3 so each item cost 3/5 of the item price.

second scenario is buy 3 for the price of 2, so each item cost 2/3 of the item price.

OK, YES!  That's what I thought and came up with those numbers too but doubted myself.  THANKS, ARCADIA!
