price after 2nd discount : 37800 X 95/100 = 35910

tax to be payed = 35910 X 8/100
= 2872.8

total price : 35910 X 108/100
38782.8

Answer 2

Answer:

( a ) The amount of sales will be Rs. 2872.80

( b ) The total price to be paid will be Rs. 38782.80

Step-by-step explanation:

In context to questions asked ,

We have to find:-

( 1 ) The amount of sales tax,

( 2 ) The total price

List price = Rs. $42000$

Discount $10 \%$ of Rs. 42000

$=>\frac{10}{100} \times \text { Rs } 42000$

=> Rs. 4200

Now, the discounted price:-

$=\text { Rs. } 42,000-\text { Rs. } 4,200$

$=\text { Rs. } 37,800$

Off-season discount $=5 \%$ of Rs. 37,800

$=\frac{5}{100} \times \text { Rs } 37800$

$=\text { Rs. } 1,890$

Therefore, Sale price -

$=\text { Rs } 37800-\text { Rs } 1890$

$=\text { Rs } 35910$

( 1 ) The amount of sales tax a customer has to pay = $8 \%$ of Rs. 35,910

$=\text { Rs. } 35,910+\text { Rs. } 2872.80$

$=\frac{8}{100} \times \text { Rs } 35910$

$=\text { Rs } 2872.80$

( 2 ) The total price $=\text { Sale-price }+\text { Sales Tax }$

$=\text { Rs. } 38782.80$
