Solution

$M P = 4800 R s$
$D i s c o u n t = 10 % = \frac{10}{100} \times 4800 = 480 R s$
Now selling price becomes $4800 - 480 = 4320 R s$
$V A T = 8 % = \frac{8}{100} \times 4320 = 345.6 R s$
So selling price becomes $4320 + 345.6 = 4665.6 R s$
The amount paid by the customer to purchase the wall hanging $= 4665.6 R s$
