Question

A necklace was on sale for 20% discount off the original price of
$1250.00. What was the final sale price if 12.5% VAT has to be
paid?​

Answer 1

$1250 x 0.8 = $1000
$1000 x 1.125 = $1125
Therefore $1125 must be paid.

Answer 2

Answer:

= $ $\mathsf{1125}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathrm{Given}$,

$\mathrm{Discount\% = 20\%}$

$\mathrm{Marked \: price = 1250}$

$\mathrm{Now \: let's \: find \: the \: discount \: amount}$

$\mathrm{discount \: amount = dis\% \: of \: MP}$

$\mathrm { = 20\% \: of \: 1250}$

$\mathrm{ = 250}$

$\mathrm{let's \: find \: the \: selling \: price}$

$\mathrm{ = MP \: - \: discount \: amount}$

$\mathrm{ = 1250 - 250}$

= $ $\mathrm{1000}$

$\mathrm{lets \: find \: the \: Vat \: amount}$

$\mathrm{vat \: amount = vat\% \: of \: sp}$

$\mathrm{ = 12.5\% \: of \: 1000}$

= $ $\mathrm{ 125}$

$\mathrm{Now \: finally \: let's \: find \: the \: selling \: price \: with \: vat}$

$\mathrm{selling \: price \: + \: vat \: amount}$

$\mathrm{ = 1000 + 125}$

= $ $\mathrm{1125}$

Therefore, The final sale of the necklace is $ 1125
