A mobile phone is listed at Rs. 18,000. A shopkeeper offers a 12% discount and then adds 18% GST on the discounted price. What is the final price paid by the buyer?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Original Price = ₹18,000
Discount = 12%
GST = 18%
Price after discount = MP × (1 − 12/100)
Final Price = Discounted Price × (1 + 18/100)
After discount = 18,000 × 0.88 = 15,840
Final Price = 15,840 × 1.18 = ₹18,691.20
