Solution
Printed price of an article = ₹ 60000
Rate of discount allowed = 20%
Total discount
= ₹ 60000 x `(20)/(100)`
= ₹ 12000
S.P. after discount
= ₹ 60000 – ₹ 12000
= ₹ 48000
Rate of VAT = 6%
(i) Amount paid by the shopkeeper
= ₹ 48000 + ₹ 48000 x `(6)/(100)`
= ₹ 48000 + ₹ 2880
= ₹ 50880
(ii) The price at which the shopkeeper sold to the customer = ₹ 60000
Profit
= ₹ 60000 – ₹ 48000
= ₹ 12000
VAT paid by the customer to the Govt.
= ₹ 12000 x `(6)/(100)`
= ₹ 720
(iii) Total cost to the customer = ₹ 60000 + VAT inclusive of tax
= ₹ 60000 + `(60000 xx 6)/(100)`
= ₹ 60000 + ₹ 3600
= ₹ 63600.
