Question

The marked price of an A.C is Rs. 40000. The shopkeeper gives a discount of 8% on marked price. Then, calculate the amount customer has to pay if the sales tax of 8% is charged to the customer.

• A. Rs.37984
  
• B. Rs.38144
  
• C. Rs.39744
  
• D. Rs.40144

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Rs.39744

M.P = ₹ 40000
Discount of 8% is given by shopkeeper, so selling price would be
S.P = 40000 - 8% of 40000
S.P = 40000 - $\frac{8}{100}\times 40000$
S.P = 40000 - 3200 = ₹ 36800
Amount which customer has to pay will be given by
Total amount = Sale price + Sale tax
Total amount = 36800 + 8% of 36800
Total amount = 36800 + $\frac{8}{100}\times 36800$ = 36800 + 2944 = ₹ 39744
