• Price per article = ₹450,
• Number of articles = 20,
• Discount = 20%
• GST = 28%

Step 1: Total price before discount

Total price = 450 × 20 = ₹9000.

Step 2: Apply 20%20\%20% discount

Discount amount `= 9000xx20/100= ₹1800`

Price after discount = 9000 − 1800 = ₹7200.

Step 3: Add 28% GST

GST amount = `7200xx28/100 = ₹2016`

Final price = 7200 + 2016

= ₹9216.
