Question

The marked price of an item is rupee 6000. The dealer allows a discount of 4% on cash payment. If the rate of tax is 12%, find the amount the customer has to pay to the dealer in cash to purchase it. ​

Answer 1

Answer: Rs. 6451.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Marked price MP = Rs. 6000

Tax = 12%

Then SP = $MP + 12\% \text { of } MP = 6000+ \dfrac{12}{100} \times 6000 = Rs. 6720$

Now the shopkeeper gives a discount of 4%

Therefore the customer has to pay

$6720- 4\% \text { of } 6720= 6720 - \dfrac{4}{100} \times 6720 =Rs. 6451.2$

Hence, the customer has to pay Rs. 6451.2
