उत्तर
Cost price of 15 articles = Rs 840
Then cost price of 6 articles = `(840 xx 6)/15` = Rs 336
Sale tax paid by shopkeeper for articles
= 8% of Rs 336
`= 8/100 xx "Rs" 336 = "Rs" 26.88`
Sale price of articles = `6 xx "Rs" 65 = "Rs" 390`
Tax charged by shopkeeper = 8% of Rs390
`= 8/100 xx "Rs" 390 = "Rs" 31.20`
VAT paid by shopkeeper = Rs 31.20 - Rs 26.88 = Rs 4.32
