Question

A trader allows a discount of 15%on all goods which cost more than 10 naira. How much discount would he give on something costing 60 naira?

Answer 1

To calculate the discount, we need to find 15% of 60 naira.

First, convert 15% to decimal form: 15% = 15/100 = 0.15

Then multiply 0.15 by 60:
0.15 * 60 = 9

Therefore, the trader would give a discount of 9 naira on something costing 60 naira.
