Recall that the x% of y can be computed using the following expression:

$y\cdot(x)/(100)\text{.}$

If the oil will have a 10% discount, then it will cost 90% of its original price.

Now, 90% of 13000 is:

$13000\cdot(90)/(100)\text{.}$

Simplifying the above expression we get:

Answer: If the oil will have a 10% discount, then it will cost $11,700.
