Question

Sheila goes to a boutique to buy a dress. She likes a dress marked at ₹6500. 12.5% VAT is applicable. She requests the boutique owner to give her a discount so that she pays only ₹6500. Find the discount amount and the discount percentage.​

Answer 1

Answer:

11.11%

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of dress = Rs. 6500.00

VAT is 12.5 % = Rs 812.50

Gross amount = Rs 6500.00 + 812.50 = Rs.7312.50

But she Actual paid = Rs. 6500

Discount = Rs 7312.50 - 6500.00 = Rs 812 .50

Discount in % = Rs 812.50 /7312.50 * 100

=11.11%

Answer 2

Cost of dress = Rs. 6500.00

Vat @ 12.5 % = Rs 812.50

Gross amount = Rs 6500.00 +

812.50 = Rs.7312.50

But she Actual paid = Rs. 6500

Discount = Rs 7312.50 - 6500.00 = Rs 812.50

Discount in % =

$\frac{812.50}{7312.50} \times 100$

=11.11%
