it​

Answer 1

Answer:

Here,

discount = 15%

S.P with VAT = Rs 17289

VAT = 13%

M.P = ?

we know,

S.P with VAT = S.P + VAT% of S.P

or, 17289= S.P + (13/100)×S.P

or, 17289= 113S.P/100

or,17289 × 100 = 113 S.P

or,1728900/113 = S.P

therfore, S.P = Rs.15300

Again,

S.P = M.P - discount % of M.P

or, 15300 = M.P - (15/100) M.P

or, 15300 = 85M.P/100

or, 15300 × 100 = 85 M.P

or, 1530000/85 = M.P

therefore, M.P = Rs. 18000
