Answers
Answer:
List price =Rs.18000
Discount=20% of 18000=10020×18000=Rs.3600
T.V price after discount=18000−3600=Rs.14400
Off season discount=10% of 14400=10010×14400=1440
T.V Price after off season discount=14400−1440=Rs.12960
(1)The amount of sales tax the customer has to pay=10% of 12960
⇒10010×12960=Rs.1296
Given: Marked price of a colour television = Rs 18000
Discount applied = 8%
Sales tax levied = 10%
To find: The final price to be paid by the customer for the coloured television
Solution: M.P = Rs 18000
Cost of the television after discount is applied
= Rs 18000 (1 - 8/100)
= Rs 18000 × 92/100
= Rs (180 × 92)
Cost of the television after sales tax is levied
= Rs 180 × 92 × (1 + 10/100)
= Rs 180 × 92 × 11/10
= Rs 18 × 92 × 11
= Rs 18216
Therefore, the final price to be paid by the customer for the coloured television = Rs 18216.
Answer: Rs 18216
