Question

the marked price of an article is rs 4000 and rate of gst is 12%.A shopkeeper allows a discount of 15% and still makes a profit of 10%.Find the original price and s.p including gst..

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Say, x% discount was offered on the marked price.

Marked price = 4000 rupees.

Discount = (x / 100) * 4000 rupees = 40x rupees.

Selling price excluding GST = (4000 - 40x) rupees = 40 * (100 - x) rupees.

Selling price including GST = 40 * (100 - x) * {1 + (13 / 100)} rupees = 40 * (100 - x) * 1.13 rupees.

Now, 40 * (100 - x) * 1.13 = 3616

Or, 45.2 * (100 - x) = 3616

Or, (100 - x) = 80

Or, x = 20.

So, the discount was 20%.
