Question

Charu bought a laptop being sold at a discount of $15\%$ on the printed price. The printed price of that laptop was ₹$75000$. $18\%$ GST was charged on the discounted price. What amount did Charu pay to buy the laptop?

• A. $\text{Rs.}75225$
• B. $\text{Rs.}74500$
• C. $\text{Rs.}76500$
• D. $\text{Rs.}80000$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$\text{Rs.}75225$

$\text{Discount}=15\%\text{of}75000=\frac{15}{100}\times 75000=₹11250$
$\Rightarrow$ Taxable value of the laptop $=75000-11250$ = ₹$63750$
Given, Rate of GST $=18\%$
$\Rightarrow \text{GST}=\frac{18}{100}\times 63750=₹11475$
$\Rightarrow \text{Amount paid}=63750+11475=₹75225$
Charu paid ₹$75225$ for the laptop.
