Solution

(i) S.P. of washing machine

= `(1 - 10/100) xx ₹18000`

= `(9)/(100) xx 18000` = ₹16200
Sale tax 
= 8% of ₹16200

= `(8)/(100) xx 16200` = ₹1296
Printed price = ₹18000
Price paid by shopkeeper

= `(1 - 20/100) xx ₹18000`

= `(8)/(100) xx ₹14400` = ₹1152
(i) VAT paid by shopkeeper
= Tax charged - Tax paid
= ₹1296 - ₹1152
= ₹144
(ii) Price paid by customer
= ₹16200 + ₹1296
= ₹17496.
