It is a discount of 15.
5000 x 0.10 = 500 10% of $5000 is $500.
To find 10 percent of a number, multiply the number by 0.1. In this instance, 0.1 x 5000 = 500. Therefore, 10 percent of 5000 is equal to 500.
"percent" means "out of 100"20 percent of 5000 is:20/100 x 5000 = 1000Correct - as far as it goes.But the question was not 20 percent of 5000, it was 20 percent of 5000 percent.So the answer is 1000 percent. And that, in turn, gives the correct answer of 10
