Answer

Marked price of the article = ₹15000
Profit = 10%
Rate of GST = 12%

(i) Selling price of the article (excluding tax) = Marked Price + Profit

=15000+(10100×15000)=15000+1500=16500= 15000 + \Big(\dfrac{10}{100} \times 15000\Big) \\[0.5em] = 15000 + 1500 \\[0.5em] = \bold{₹16500}

(ii) The amount of tax (under GST) paid by the consumer

=12% of ₹16500=(12100×16500)=1980= 12\% \text{ of } ₹16500 \\[0.5em] = ₹\Big(\dfrac{12}{100} \times 16500\Big) \\[0.5em] = \bold{₹1980}

(iii) The total amount paid by the consumer = Selling price of the article + GST paid by the consumer
= ₹16500 + ₹1980
= ₹18480
