Question

A foreigner buys some typical Nepali goods in Kathmandu. After allowing a discount of 10% and then adding 13% VAT, he pays Rs 5085. How much does he get back while leaving Nepal?

Answer 1

Answer: 585

Step-by-step explanation:

firstly calculate the SP by using SP with VAT formula,

SP with VAT = SP + VAT amount

5085= SP + 13/100 of SP

SP = Rs 4500

While leaving any foreigner from the country, he/she will get VAT amount. So required VAT amount = VAT % of SP

                                    = 13/100 of 4500

                                     = Rs 585

Answer:

Please mark me as brainliest

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the maximum price of goods "x".

The foreigner will pay 90% of x after the 10% discount, which is equal to 0.9x.

Then, 15% VAT (Value Added Tax) will be added to the discounted price of 0.9x, which is:

0.9x + 0.15(0.9x) = 1.035x

So the total price the foreigner pays for the goods is 1.035x Nepali rupees.

If the foreigner leaves Nepal with the goods, they may be subject to customs duties or other taxes in their home country, which would add to the cost of the goods. However, we cannot calculate this without knowing the specific laws and regulations of the foreigner's home country.

Therefore, the maximum price of goods the foreigner can pay in Nepali rupees is:

1.035x = 4140

x = 4000 Nepali rupees (rounded to the nearest thousand)

So the maximum price of goods the foreigner can pay in Kathmandu is 4000 Nepali rupees, and they will pay 1.035 * 4000 = 4140 Nepali rupees after the discount and VAT are applied
