$\text{Solution 1}$

$\text{Discount}$	$= 10\text{%}\times 2\ 490\ 000$
	$= $249\ 000$

$\therefore\ \text{Discounted Price}$	$= 2\ 490\ 000-249\ 000$
	$= $ 2\ 241\ 000$

$\text{Solution 2 (Advanced)}$

$\text{Discounted Price}$	$= 90\%\times 2\ 490\ 000=0.9\times 2\ 490\ 000$
	$= $ 2\ 241\ 000$

\(\text{Discount}\)	\(= 10\text{%}\times 2\ 490\ 000\)
	\(= $249\ 000\)

\(\therefore\ \text{Discounted Price}\)	\(= 2\ 490\ 000-249\ 000\)
	\(= $ 2\ 241\ 000\)

\(\text{Discounted Price}\)	\(= 90\%\times 2\ 490\ 000=0.9\times 2\ 490\ 000\)
	\(= $ 2\ 241\ 000\)
