Answer»

List price of colour T.V.

= Rs 24,000

(i) Discount = 8/100 x Rs 24,000

= Rs 1,920

Balance amount to be paid

= Rs 22,080

Off season discount @5% on Rs 22,080

= 5/100 x Rs 22080

= Rs 1,104

Remaining Amount = Rs 22080 - Rs 1104

= Rs 20,976

Sales Tax = 10/100 x Rs 20976

= Rs 2,097.60.

(ii) Final price the customer has pay

= Rs 2097.60 + Rs 20,976
