Gayan-ok sir I’ve found the reason for not to being the refrigerator sold out

Thusath-yes then tell me the reason.

Gayan-what else, because it is an old module

Thusath-then if that is the reason we must put it on sale.

Gayan-yes sir then how much would be the discount percentage would be

Thusath-like 5% or 6% but make sure not to get over the bought price. We would have a lose

Gayan-got it sir

Later on Gayan is speaking to him self

Gayan-so if the discount is 5% the price will be ……………………………………. If it is 6% the price would be …………………………………………. So the perfect percentage would be 6%

Gayan-sir I think it would be appropriate if we put 6% as the discount.
