उत्तर
List price of an article = ₹3000
Rate of discount = 30%
and rate of S.T. = 6%
Total discount
= `₹3000 xx (30)/(100)` = ₹900
∴ S.P. of manufactures or
C.P. of the shopkeeper
= ₹3000 - ₹900
= ₹2100
S.T. = `₹2100 xx (6)/(100)` = ₹126
Rebate given to consumer = 10%
and C.P. of the consumer
= `₹(3000 xx (100 - 10))/(100)`
= `₹(3000 xx 90)/(100)`
= ₹2700
(i) S.T. paid by shopkeeper = ₹126
Total cost pre of the shopkeeper
= ₹2100 + 126
= ₹2226
(ii) S.T. for consumer
= `2700 xx (6)/(100)`
= ₹162
∴ Total cost price paid by the consumer
= ₹2700 + ₹162
= ₹2862
(iii) VAT paid by the shopkeeper
= ₹162 - ₹126
= ₹36.
