Answer 1

The marked price of an article is ₹ 5000. The shopkeeper gives a discount of 10%. If the rate of GST is 12%, then the amount paid by the customer including GST is ₹ 5040.

Explanation:

Marked price = ₹ 5000.

After 10% discount the taxable price

= 5000 × 0.9

= ₹ 4500

GST at 12% on ₹ 4500

= 0.12 × 4500

= ₹ 540

Total paid

= 4500 + 540 

= ₹ 5040
