Question

The total price to be paid by the customer for the computer set.

Answer 1

Given that the listed price of computer set was Rs. $42,000$

Now, as the shopkeeper gives a discount of $10\%$ on the listed price then the cost of computer set becomes :

$=42000-$ $10\%$ of $42000$

$=42000-$$\frac{10}{100}\times$$42000$

$=42000–4200$

$=37800$

Now the price after the shopkeeper’s discount becomes $Rs.37,800$

Similarly on off-season discount of $5\%$ the cost of Computer set becomes :

$=37800-\frac{5}{100}\times 37800$

$=37800–1890$

$=35910$

Now applying sales tax at $8\%$ after the two successive discounts the cost of Computer becomes :

$=35910+\frac{8}{100}\times 35910$

$=35910+2872.8$

$=38782.8$

So, thetotal price to be paid by the customer for the computer set is $Rs.38,782.8$
