Help me

Answer 1

Answer:

Discount money = ₹160

Step-by-step explanation:

SP = ₹1656

Discount% = 10%

Vat% = 15%

Let CP be x

Discount 10 %

x - 10/100 × x

x = x - x/10

x = 10x/10 - x/10

x = 9x/10 = 0.9x

CP = 9x/10 = 0.9x

VAT 15%

0.9x + 15/100 × 0.9x

= 0.9x + 2.7x/20

= 18x/20 + 2.7x/20

= 20.7x/20

20.7x/20 = 1656

20.7x = 1656 × 20

20.7x = 33120

x = 33120/20.7

x = 33120 × 10/20.7 × 10

x = 331200/207

x = 1600

Marked price (or) CP = ₹1600

Discount money = 10/100 × 1600

                            = ₹160
