Given:
The wholesaler marks the air conditioner for Rs.50,000.
The wholesaler sells the air conditioner to the shopkeeper at a discount of 10 %.
The shopkeeper sells it to a customer at the marked price.

To Find:
The amount paid by the customer for the air conditioner.
Solution:
→ The wholesaler marks the air conditioner for Rs.50,000.
∵ The wholesaler sells the air conditioner to the shopkeeper at a discount of 10 %.
∴ The selling price for the Wholesaler = 50,000 - 50,000 × (10/100)
∴ The selling price for the Wholesaler = 50,000 - 5,000
∴ The selling price for the Wholesaler = Rs.45,000
→ The shopkeeper sells it to a customer at the marked price and the rate of GST is 18 %.
∴ The amount paid by the customer = 45,000 + 45,000 × (18/100)
∴ The amount paid by the customer = 45,000 + 8100
∴ The amount paid by the customer = Rs.53,100
Therefore the amount paid by the customer for the air conditioner comes out to be equal to Rs.53,100.
