The marked price of a laptop is Rs.75000. Allowing 15% discount and including the same percentage of VAT the laptop is sold. Find the cost that has to pay by the customer and the VAT amount.

Given,

Marked price = Rs. 75000

Discount percent = 15%

VAT percent = 15%

To find, SP with VAT and amount of VAT

By formula,

Selling price (SP) = MP - discount % of MP

= Rs.75000-15% of Rs.75000

= Rs. 75000 - (15/100) x Rs. 75000

= Rs. 75000 - Rs. 11250

= Rs. 63750

Again,

Amount of VAT = VAT % of SP

= 15% of Rs.63750

= (15/100) x Rs. 63750

= Rs. 9562.50
