We are given original price of the trouser = 10000/-

Soloman was given a discount offer of
4(1)/(2)%.

4 1/2 % can be written in decimal form 4.5% and then 0.045.

Now, we need to find the discount amount of the total 10000/ amount.

4 1/2 % of 10000 = 0.045 × 10000 = 450.

450 is the discount amount on the total amount 10000.

In order to find the final amount, we need to subtract discount amount from original amount.

Therefore, after discount price is 10000-450 = 9550.

Therefore, he bought the trouser at 9550/=.
