Question

15. An article was marked at 23,600 excluding
GST and sold at a discount of 10%. If GST
rate is 18%, find the selling price of the
article.​

Answer 1

GIVEN :-

• marked price of article = 23,600 rs
• discount given after 18% gst = 10%

TO FIND :-

• selling price of article

SOLUTION :-

AS WE KNOW THAT ,

we have to include 18% gst on article hence ,

$\implies \rm{23600 = 100\%}$

$\implies \rm{1\% = \dfrac{23600}{100} }$

$\implies \rm{18\% = \dfrac{23600}{100} \times 18 }$

$\implies \rm{18\% = 236 \times 18 }$

$\implies \rm{ \bf18\% =4248 }$

so total price of article after 18% gst is

$\implies \rm{23600 + 4248}$

$\implies \rm{ \bf27848 \: rs}$

now 10% discount on it

$\implies \rm{100\% \: = 27848}$

$\implies \rm{1\% \: = \dfrac{27848}{100} }$

$\implies \rm{10\% \: = \dfrac{27848}{100} \times 10}$

$\implies \rm{10\% \: = \dfrac{27848}{10} }$

$\implies \rm{ \bf \: 10\% \: = 2784.8 \: rs }$

now we know formula for selling price

$\implies \boxed{ \rm{selling \: price= marked \: price \: - discount}}$

hence ,

$\implies \rm{selling \: price\: = 27848 - 2784.8 }$

$\implies \boxed{ \boxed{\rm{selling \: price\: = 25063.2 \: rs}}}$
