First let us calculate the Liters of oil that we need to
top-up:
Volume oil needed = 1200 L – 450 L = 750 L
Then calculate the total price of 750 L of oil:
Total price = 81.5p / L * 750 L = 61,125p
The discount percent is 7.5% or 0.075 in decimal,
therefore the total discount is:
Total discount = 61,125p * 0.075
Total discount = 4,584.375p

the last part is wrong the total discount part is incorrect apparently
you would only get 2 mars out of the 3 marks
