Answer:
5%
Step-by-step explanation:
list price of article = Rs 8000
Discount Rate = x %
Discount = (x/100)8000 = 80x
Price after Discount = 8000 - 80x
18% GST = (18/100)(8000 - 80x)
Shopkeeper sells the article to a consumer at the list price
=> GST received = (18/100)8000
GST paid by shopkepper to government = (18/100)8000 - (18/100)(8000 - 80x)
= (18/100) * 80x
= 144x/10
144x/10 = 72
=> x = 720/144
=> x = 5
