Answer 1

Answer: Mr. leonard would get  discount of £45.84 on this purchase.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total capacity of oil tank= 1200 liters

and the tank has already 450 liters of oil.

So,

The amount of oil needs to be filled= 1200-450=750 liters

The price of oil per liter= 81.5p

So, the total price of 750 liters= 81.5*750= 61125p

Total discount on oil= 61125*0.075= 4584.375p

We know

£1= 100p

So,

Total discount on oil= £4584.375/100 = £45.84
