Find :

(i) The sales tax amount a customer has to pa y.

(ii) The final price he has to pay for the colour T.V.

Answer 1

List price of colour T.V.

= Rs 24,000

(i) Discount = 8/100 x Rs 24,000

= Rs 1,920

Balance amount to be paid

= Rs 24,000 - Rs 1920

= Rs 22,080

*** season discount @5% on Rs 22,080

= 5/100 x Rs 22080

= Rs 1,104

Remaining Amount = Rs 22080 - Rs 1104

= Rs 20,976

Sales Tax = 10/100 x Rs 20976

= Rs 2,097.60.

(ii) Final price the customer has pay

= Rs 2097.60 + Rs 20,976

= Rs 23,073.60.
