Given that,
Price paid for the article =Rs. 3,600
Transportation charge =Rs. 1,200
∴ Total Cost price of the article =Rs. 3,600+Rs. 1,200
=Rs.4,800
Also, profit percent =15%
We know that, S.P.=100+profit%100×C.P.
Hence, selling price =(100+15100)×4,800
=115100×4,800
=Rs.5,520
There is also a sales tax of 8% on the article.
∴ Money paid by the customer = Selling price of the article + Sales tax on it ⇒5,520+8% of 5,520
⇒5520+8100×5520
⇒5520+441.60
=Rs.5,961.60
Hence, a customer will pay Rs. 5,961.60 for the article.
