Answer:
The discount allowed per bag is kshs 4
while the discount allowed on all the 300 bags is kshs 1,200
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we are interested in calculating the discount allowed on the sales of the bag of maize.
From the question, we are told that the sales man allowed a discount of 0.2% on the maize sold.
Now, to find the amount of this, we proceed as follows;
What we simply need to do is to find 0.2% of the each of the price of the maize bags, and then we can proceed to find the total discount given on all maize bags sold.
The discount on each bag of maize would be;
0.2% of kshs 2000
That would be;
0.2/100 * 2,000 = 400/100 = kshs 4
Since there are 300 bags, the total amount of discount allowed is 300 * kshs 4 = kshs 1,200
