________________________________
Equation:
According to the question
----------------
x - 5/100x = 95x
10% Of 95x = 9.5x
95x + 9.5x = 104.5x
104.5x = Rs.1672
1045/1000x(Removing the decimal)
1045/1000x = Rs.1672
1045x = 1672 * 1000
1045x = 1672000x
x= 1672000/1045
= 1600
x is Rs. 1600
Now , we know that x is Rs. 1600
We need the discount amount
5% of x
