(i) the sales tax amount a customer has to pay

(ii) the final price he has to pay for the color T.V

• A. ₹ 4370 , ₹ 48,000
• B. ₹ 4370 , ₹ 48070
• C. ₹ 4730 , ₹ 47,800
• D. ₹ 4500 , ₹ 45,000

Answer 1

The correct option is B

₹ 4370 , ₹ 48070

Given the marked price of the article be 50,000 First discount = 8 %

$\therefore$ Amount of first discount = ₹ $50,000$ $\times$ $\frac{8}{100}$
$\therefore$ Cost of the article after the first discount = ₹ 50,000- 4000
= ₹ 46,000

Second discount of 5 %

Amount of second discount = ₹ $46,000$ $\times$ $\frac{5}{100}$
= ₹ 2300
$\therefore$ Price after second discount = ₹ 46,000- 2300
= ₹ 43,700

Sales tax = 10 %

Sales tax amount = $\frac{43,700\times 10}{100}$
= ₹ 4370

Final amount of the article = 43,700 + 4370
= ₹ 48,070
