Solution

Cost price: The amount paid for a product.
Selling Price: The amount at which the product is sold
Marked Price: The price mentioned by the shopkeeper is more than the selling price, to give a discount to the buyer.
Given:
Marked price $= Rs . 200$
Discount = $5 %$
Selling Price: $= 200 - \frac{5}{100} \times 200$
$= 200 - 10 = 190$
Selling price including $5 %$ tax- $190 + \frac{5}{100} \times 190$
$= 190 + 9.5 = 199.50$
Hence- $Rs 199.50$ is the payable amount
