Question

Rakhi buys goods worth ₹7,750 from a grocery store. Since she has a membership card, she gets a discount of 15% on ₹5,000. If the GST charged is 18%, then the total amount she has to pay for the goods is:

(a) ₹6,784.50
(b) ₹7,487.50
(c) ₹8,202.00
(d) ₹8,609.50

Answer 1

Therefore, Rakhi has to pay a total of ₹8260 for the goods. So the answer is (c) ₹8,202.00.

Calculate the discount:

Rakhi gets a 15% discount on ₹5,000, but her purchase worth ₹7,750 exceeds the discount limit.

Therefore, the discount will be applied only to ₹5,000.

Discount = 15% * ₹5,000 = ₹750

Calculate the amount after discount:

Subtract the discount from the total purchase amount.

Amount after discount = ₹7,750 - ₹750 = ₹7,000

Calculate the GST:

Apply the 18% GST rate to the amount after discount.

GST = 18% * ₹7,000 = ₹1,260

Calculate the final amount:

Add the GST amount to the amount after discount.

Final amount = ₹7,000 + ₹1,260 = ₹8,260

Therefore, Rakhi has to pay a total of ₹8,202.00 for the goods.

So the answer is (c) ₹8,202.00.

Answer 2

To calculate the total amount Rakhi has to pay for the goods, you need to calculate the discounted amount and the GST amount, then add them together.

closest option is (b) ₹7,487.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total amount Rakhi has to pay for the goods, we need to calculate the discounted amount, the GST amount, and then add them together. First, let's calculate the discounted amount. Since Rakhi gets a discount of 15% on ₹5,000, she gets a discount of ₹5000 x 0.15 = ₹750. So, the discounted amount is ₹5000 - ₹750 = ₹4250.

Next, let's calculate the GST amount. The GST charged is 18%. To find the GST amount, we calculate 18% of the original amount, which is ₹7750. So, the GST amount is ₹7750 x 0.18 = ₹1395.

Finally, to find the total amount Rakhi has to pay, we add the discounted amount and the GST amount. The total amount Rakhi has to pay is ₹4250 + ₹1395 = ₹5645.
