Answer 1

$\huge\mathfrak\pink{Solution}$

(i) Cost price for wholesaler =Rs.25,000

Marked price =Rs.25,000 + 20/100 × Rs.25,000

=Rs.30,000

(ii) Discount =10% of 30,000=Rs.3,000

Cost price for retailer = Marked price − Discount

=Rs.30,000−Rs.3,000

=Rs.27,000

Cost price inclusive tax =Rs.27,000+ 8/100 × Rs.27,000

=Rs.29,160

iii) Cost price for wholesaler =Rs 25,000

Sale price for wholesaler =Rs.27,000

Profit for wholesaler = ?

Rs.27,000−Rs 25,000=Rs.2,000

GST = 8/100 × Rs.2,000

=Rs.160.
