Price of the trouser is sh 10000/= if soloman was given a discount offer 41/2percent at what price did he buy the trouser

We are given original price of the trouser = 10000/-

Soloman was given a discount offer of %.

4 1/2 % can be written in decimal form 4.5% and then 0.045.

Now, we need to find the discount amount of the total 10000/ amount.

4 1/2 % of 10000 = 0.045 × 10000 = 450.

450 is the discount amount on the total amount 10000.

In order to find the final amount, we need to subtract discount amount from original amount.

Therefore, after discount price is 10000-450 = 9550.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
