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. $Rs.5,610$
• B. $Rs.5,804$
• C. $Rs.5,906$
• D. None of these
  

Answer 1

The correct option is A $Rs.5,610$

Given,$M.P=Rs.6000$

Sales tax$=10\%$

S.P including sales tax$=Rs.(6000+\frac{10}{100}\times 6000)$

$=Rs(6000+600)$

$=Rs.6600$

Discount$=15\%$

$\therefore$ S.P after discount$=Rs.(6600-15\%of6600)$

$=Rs.(6600-\frac{15}{100}\times 6600)$

$=Rs.(6600-990)$

$=Rs.5610$

Hence, the customer has to pay $Rs.5610$
