A discount of 5% was given on a book that costs 1000 naira
A find the discount
B how much was paid
A The discount is calculated by multiplying the percentage discount by the original cost of the book. In this case, the discount is 5% of 1000 naira.
Discount = 5/100 * 1000 = 50 naira.
B To calculate how much was paid, we subtract the discount from the original cost.
Amount paid = Original cost - Discount = 1000 naira - 50 naira = 950 naira.
A. To find the discount, you can simply calculate 5% of the original price.
Discount = 5/100 * 1000
Discount = 0.05 * 1000
Discount = 50 naira
Therefore, the discount on the book is 50 naira.
B. To find out how much was paid after the discount, you need to subtract the discount amount from the original price.
Amount paid = Original price - Discount
Amount paid = 1000 - 50
Amount paid = 950 naira
Hence, 950 naira was paid after the discount.
To find the discount, you can use the formula: Discount = Original Price x Discount Rate.
In this case, the original price of the book is 1000 naira, and the discount rate is 5%.
A) To calculate the discount amount:
Discount = 1000 naira x (5/100)
Discount = 1000 naira x 0.05
Discount = 50 naira
The discount on the book is 50 naira.
B) To calculate the amount paid after the discount:
Amount Paid = Original Price - Discount
Amount Paid = 1000 naira - 50 naira
Amount Paid = 950 naira
The amount paid for the book after the discount is 950 naira.
