OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

Explain in detail T_T

OpenStudy (perl):

The shopkeeper buys the washing machine from the wholesaler at a 20% discount of the printed price (this is 80% of the printed price). 18000 * .80 = 14400 The shopkeeper sells it at 10% discount (this is 90% of the listed price). 18 000 * .90 = 16200

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

I didn't understand

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

I have been given this formula Printed Price(1 + rate of sales tax/100) = Price Paid For discount Printed Price(1 - rate of discount) (1 + rate of sales tax/100)

@perl

OpenStudy (perl):

How much tax did the shopkeeper pay when he bought it from the wholesaler ?

OpenStudy (perl):

shopkeeper buys from wholesaler 18000 ( 1 - .20 ) = price= 14400 18000(1-.20) ( .08) = tax = 1152 he sold it for 18000( 1- .10) = price = 16200 18000( 1- .10)(.08) = tax = 1296

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

I think there is clash with your method and mine

OpenStudy (perl):

VA = 1296 - 1152

OpenStudy (perl):

the total amount the consumer pays is 16200 + 1296

OpenStudy (perl):
