price became Rs 1,672. How much amount was given in the discount?​

Answer 1

Let the marked price be x

Discount % = 10%

Discount = 10\% \times x = 0.1x10%×x=0.1x

Cost after discount = x-0.1x = 0.9x

10%vat is charged on it

Cost including VAT = 0.9x+0.1(0.9x)=0.99x0.9x+0.1(0.9x)=0.99x

We are given that it's price became rs 1672

So, 0.99x = 1672

x=\frac{1672}{0.99}x=0.991672

x=1688.88

Discount = 0.1x=0.1(1688.88)=168.888

Hence The discount
