Answer:

The percentage of discount is 31.0 % ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The original price = $ 24,365

Selling price = $ 16,820

Thus,

$\text{The percentage of discount}=\frac{\text{Original-Selling price}}{\text{Original price}}\times 100$

$=\frac{24365-16820}{24365}\times 100$

$==\frac{7545}{24365}\times 100$

$=\frac{754500}{24365}$

$=30.9665503796\%$

$\approx 31.0\%$

$\displaystyle h(x)=\int\limits_{1}^{\sqrt{x}}~\cfrac{z^2}{z^4+1}dz~\hspace{10em}\cfrac{dh}{du}\cdot \stackrel{chain~rule}{\cfrac{du}{dx}\implies \cfrac{dh}{dx}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ u=\sqrt{x}\implies \cfrac{du}{dx}=\cfrac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\cfrac{dh}{dx}\implies \displaystyle \cfrac{d}{du}\left[ \int\limits_{1}^{u}~\cfrac{z^2}{z^4+1}dz \right]\cdot \cfrac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}\implies \left[ \cfrac{u^2}{u^4+1} \right]\cdot \cfrac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} \\\\\\ \stackrel{substituting~back}{\left[ \cfrac{(\sqrt{x})^2}{(\sqrt{x})^4+1} \right]\cdot \cfrac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}}\implies \cfrac{x}{x^2+1}\cdot \cfrac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}\implies \cfrac{\sqrt{x}}{2x^2+2}$
