Question

A building contractor buys 525 metal bars. Because he is buying more than 500 bars, the wholesaler gives
him a discount of R4 200,00. The total price after discount is R66 675,00.

Answer 1

Answer:

yes the discount is 12700

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Before discount, the price would be

420000 + 6667500 = 7087500

Now the cost of each metal bar will be

7087500/525 = 13500

The cost of each bar before discount is 13500.

After the discount, the cost of each bar will be

6667500/525 = 12700
