Answer 1

2226,2862,36

Answer 2

Shopkeeper got the discount so,listed price was Rs 3000 then
3000-30% of 3000
3000-900 = 2100 without tax

Consumer got 10% discount on list price then
3000-3000×10%
3000-300 = 2700
(ii)Tax paid by him = 2700×6% + 2700
162+2700
= 2862
Profit of shopkeeper =2700-2100
=600 so,
(iii) VAT on profit of shopkeeper
=600×6% =36
(i) the price inclusive of sales tax paid by shopkeeper = VAT + money without tax
= 36+2100 = 2136
