10/100 = .10 = 10%\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if the discount is 10%, then any item in the shop will be discounted less than 10 rs because the most expensive item in the shop is 100 rs.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "he divided the 10 rs by the most expensive item in the shop.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since that was 100 rs, 10 rs / 100 rs = .10 = 10%.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "that set the percentage discount.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the most he will lose is 10 rs because 10% of 100 10.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "anything else in the shop is cheaper, so he will lose 10% of that = less than 10 rs.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "example:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "an item that cost 90 rs will get a discount of .10 * 90 = 9 rs.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
