Question

Lalitha took a parcel from a hotel to celebrate her birthday with her friends. It was billed with ₹ 1,450 including 5% VAT. Lalitha asked for some discount, the hotel owner gave 8% discount on the bill amount. Now find the actual amount that Lalitha has to pay to the hotel owner.

Answer 1

After allowing 5% VAT, the total bill = ₹ 1450 

If 8% discount is allowed on bill, then 

Discount = 8% of 1450

8/100 × 1450 = ₹116

Discount = ₹116 

∴ Lalitha has to pay the bill = 1450 -116 = ₹ 1334
