Question

Lalitha took a parcel from a hotel to celebrate her birthday with her friends. It was billed with Rs. 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

Philoid · Accepted Answer

The cost of parcel including 5% VAT = Rs. 1450

Discount given by the hotel owner = 8%

Actual discount = 8% of 1450

= 116

∴ Actual discount = Rs. 116

The actual amount paid by lalitha = bill amount – actual discount

= 1450 – 116

= Rs. 1334

∴ The actual amount paid by lalitha is Rs. 1334.
