Question

Ahmed purchased a washing machine having marked price Rs 8500 at 4% discount. If the rate of VAT is 7 %, then find the amount paid by Ahmed

Answer 1

Marked Price = Rs 8500 (Given)

Find price after discount:

Discount = 4% x Rs 8500 = 0.04 x 8500 = Rs 340

Price after discount = 8500 - 340 = Rs 8160

Find price with VAT:

VAT = 7% x Rs 8160 = Rs 571.20

Price after VAT = 8160 + 571.20 = Rs 8731.20

Answer: Ahmed needs to pay Rs 8731.20
