Solution

5% sales tax is charged on an article marked Rs 200 after allowing a discount of 5%, then the amount payable is ₹ 199.50.

Explanation:

The marked price of the article = 1200

Discount = 5%

Selling price of the article = `200 - 5/100 xx 200`

= 200 – 10

= Rs. 190

Selling price including 5% sales tax = `190 + 5/100 xx 190`

= 190 + 9.5

= Rs. 199.5

Payable amount = Rs. 199.50
