(a) the Sales Tax a customer has to pay
(b) the final price he has to pay for the T.V.

• A. (a) Rs. 2,16060 (b) Rs. 23,112.60
• B. (a) Rs. 2,097.60 (b) Rs. 23,073.60
• C. (a) Rs. 1,976.60 (b) Rs. 23,243.60
• D. (a) Rs. 1,850.60 (b) Rs. 23,513.60

Answer 1

The correct option is B (a) Rs. 2,097.60 (b) Rs. 23,073.60

List price $=Rs.24000$

Discount $=8\%$

Price of T.V after Discount

$\Rightarrow 24000-8\%$ of $24000$

$\Rightarrow 24000-\frac{8}{100}\times 24000$

$\Rightarrow 24000-1920=Rs.22080$

Off season Discount=5%

Price of T.V after off season discount

$\Rightarrow 22080-5\%of22080$

$\Rightarrow 22080-\frac{5}{100}\times 22080$

$\Rightarrow 22080-1104=Rs.20976$

Rate of Sales tax=10%

(a)Customer has to pay sales tax

$\Rightarrow 10\%of20976$

$\Rightarrow \frac{10}{100}\times 20976=Rs.2097.60$

(b)The final price he has to pay

$\Rightarrow 20976+2097.60=Rs.23073.60$
