shopkeeper?​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 952

b) 464

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Given,

Selling price of the article A = 850,

GST = 12%,

So, the total amount paid by her = (100 + 12)% of 850

= 112% of 850

=\frac{112\times 850}{100}=

100

112×850

= 952

b) If Selling price of article B = 1200,

GST = 18%,

Then the total amount paid by her = (100 + 18)% of 1200

= 118% of 1200

=\frac{118\times 1200}{100}=

100

118×1200

= 1416

Hence, Extra money paid by her, if she bought article B instead of A = 1416 - 952 = 464
