Let's calculate the discount details for the Oraimo Smart Handheld Fan shown in the image.

Identify the original price and the discounted price.
The original price is N 34,500.
The discounted price is N 18,000.
Calculate the discount amount.
The discount amount is the difference between the original price and the discounted price.
$\text{Discount Amount} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Discounted Price}$ $\text{Discount Amount} = \text{N } 34,500 - \text{N } 18,000$ $\text{Discount Amount} = \text{N } 16,500$
Calculate the percentage discount.
The percentage discount is the discount amount divided by the original price, multiplied by 100%.
$\text{Percentage Discount} = \frac{\text{Discount Amount}}{\text{Original Price}} \times 100\%$ $\text{Percentage Discount} = \frac{\text{N } 16,500}{\text{N } 34,500} \times 100\%$ $\text{Percentage Discount} = 0.47826... \times 100\%$ $\text{Percentage Discount} \approx 47.83\%$
The discount details for the Oraimo Smart Handheld Fan are:
- Discount Amount: $\boxed{\text{N } 16,500}$
- Percentage Discount: $\boxed{47.83\%}$ (which is approximately the 48% shown in the image)
