The formula to calculate the discount given the list price and price paid is:
\[ \text{Disc} = \text{LP} - \text{SP} \]
Where:
The discount is the difference between the selling price and the price paid for the item.
The list price is the price of an article as shown in a list issued by the manufacturer.
The price paid is the price at which the consumer buys a product.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{Disc} = 51.5 - 50 \approx 1.5 \]
The discount is approximately 1.5.
