Question

A shopkeeper sold her goods for Rs 16,950 allowing 25% discount and then levied on 13% VAT , What was the amount of discount?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 3450

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, 25% discount was allowed and discount amount was Rs. 1000

So, price after 25% discount

= (1000×75)/25

= Rs. 3000

Therefore,VAT = (15×3000)/100= Rs. 450

Hence, SP with VAT = (3000+450) = Rs. 345

Answer 2

Answer: The amount of discount is Rs.5,000  

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are; The amount the shopkeeper sold her goods = Rs. 16,950 The percentage discount allowed = 25% The VAT included in the sale = 13% Therefore, we have; Sale amount = Discounted price + VAT percentage × Discounted price Discounted price = (100 - Percentage discount)/100×Display price

Sale amount = The amount the shopkeeper sold her goods = Rs. 16,950 Let the display price = X; We have; Discounted price = (100 - 25)/100×X = 0.75·X Therefore; Sale amount = 0.75·X+ 13/100 × 0.75·X Rs. 16,9504 = 0.8475·X X = Rs. 16,950/0.8475 = Rs.20,000 Therefore, the display price = Rs.20,000 The amount of discount = Percentage discount × Display price The amount of discount = 25/100 × Rs.20,000 = Rs.5,000 The amount of discount = Rs.5,000.
