Question

Garpreet buys a suit piece whose marked price is 2700. The tax is 8%. She requests the shopkeeper
reduce the price so that she is required to pay only 2700 inclusive of tax. Find the discount in the
price the shopkeeper allows.(note-the answer in my book is rs200)​

Answer 1

Answer:

discount = 200 (2700-2500)

shopkeeper sells and charge

cp = sp x 100 /( 100 + tax)

= 2700 x 100 / 108= 2500

price of suit = 2500

to check

interest 8% on 2500 = 200

amount she pays 2500 + 200 = 2700
