Commercial Mathematics (10)

Mr. Bedi visits the market and buys the following articles:

  • Medicines costing ₹ 950, GST @ 5%
  • A pair of shoes costing ₹ 3000, GST @ 18%
  • A Laptop bag costing ₹ 1000 with a discount of 30%, GST @ 18%.

i. Calculate the total amount of GST paid. ii. The total bill amount including GST paid by Mr. Bedi.

Answer

  1. Medicine: GST = 5 / 100× 950 = ₹ 47.50
  2. Shoes: GST = 18/100 × 3000 = ₹ 540
  3. Laptop Bag: Discounted price = 1000 – 30/100 × 1000 = ₹ 700
    ∴ GST = 18/100 × 700 = ₹ 126
    ∴ Total GST = ₹ 47.50 + ₹ 540 + ₹ 126 = ₹ 713.50
    ∴ Total Bill = 950 + 3000 +700 + 713.50 = ₹ 5363.50
