\nThe customer has to pay 2.6% more than the marked price.
\n<\/section>\n
\nTo calculate the final price, apply consecutive discounts first to the marked price, and then add the GST to the discounted price. Compare this final price to the original marked price.
\n<\/section>\n
\nMarked Price = \u20b92,000.
\nPrice after 1st discount (10%): \u20b92000 * (1 – 0.10) = \u20b92000 * 0.90 = \u20b91800.
\nPrice after 2nd discount (5%): \u20b91800 * (1 – 0.05) = \u20b91800 * 0.95 = \u20b91710. This is the price before GST.
\nPrice after adding 20% GST: \u20b91710 * (1 + 0.20) = \u20b91710 * 1.20 = \u20b92052.
\nThe final price paid by the customer is \u20b92052.
\nThe original marked price was \u20b92000.
\nDifference = Final Price – Marked Price = \u20b92052 – \u20b92000 = \u20b952.
\nThe customer pays \u20b952 more.
\nPercentage difference = (Difference \/ Marked Price) * 100 = (52 \/ 2000) * 100 = (52\/20) = 2.6%.
\nThe customer pays 2.6% more than the actual (marked) price.
