Answer 1

The marked price of an article is ₹ 2,000. The GST on the article is 12% and discount is ₹ 500, the total amount to be paid is ₹ 1,680.

Explanation:

Marked price of an article = ₹ 2000

Discount = ₹ 500

∴ Price after discount = ₹ 2000 – ₹ 500 = ₹ 1500

 Rate of GST = 12%

GST amount = 12% of ₹ 1500

= `(12/100 xx 1500)`

= ₹ 180

∴ Total amount paid = ₹ 1500 + ₹ 180

For an article = ₹ 1680
