Question

Lalitha took a parcel from a hotel to celebrate her birthday with her friends. It was billed with Rs. $1,450$ including $5\%$ VAT. Lalitha asked for some discount, the hotel owner gave $8\%$ discount on the bill amount. Now find the actual amount that Lalitha has to pay to the hotel owner.

Answer 1

Total cost $=1450,$ discount $=8$%

Amount to be paid $=$ Total Cost $–$ Discount $=$ Total cost $–8$% of total cost.

$=1450–\frac{8}{100}\times 1450=1334.$

$\therefore$ Actual amount she has to pay is $Rs.1334.$
