Question

A shopkeeper announces a discount of 15% on his goods. If the marked price of an article, in his shop, is Rs. 6,000; how much a customer has to pay for it, if the rate of Sales Tax is 10% ?

• A. Rs. 5320
• B. Rs. 5610
• C. Rs. 5930
• D. Rs. 6120

Answer 1

The correct option is B Rs. 5610

Marked Price$=Rs.6000$

Discount $=15\%$

Price after discount $=6000-15\%$ of $6000$

$\Rightarrow 6000-\frac{15}{100}\times 6000$

$\Rightarrow 6000-900=Rs.5100$

Rate of sales $tax=10\%$

Then sales price$=5100+10\%$ of $5100$

$\Rightarrow 5100+\frac{10}{100}\times 5100$

$\Rightarrow 5100+510=Rs.5610$

Hence customer has to pay $Rs.5610$.
