Solution
M.P. = ₹18,000
Discount = 20% for shop-owner.
Discount = 10% for consumer
Sales tax = 6%
Discount for shop-owner = 20 % of 18,000
= `(20 xx 18000)/(100)`
= ₹ 3600
Cost for shop-owner = 18000 - 3600 = ₹ 14400
Cost for consumer = 18000 - 10% of 18000
= 18000 - `(10 xx 18000)/(100)`
= 18000 - 1800
= ₹ 16,200
(i) Tax charged by the shopkeeper
= 16,200 x `(8)/(100)`
= ₹ 1,296
Tax paid by the shopkeeper
= ₹ 14,400 x `(8)/(100)`
= ₹ 1,152
∴ Vat paid by the shopkeeper = ₹ 1,296 - ₹ 1,152 = ₹ 144
(ii) Amount paid by consumer = ₹ (16,200 + 1,1296) = ₹ 17,496.
