Explanation

Cost = 36000. Marked price = 36000 * 1.2 = 43200. Selling price after 10% discount = 43200 * 0.9 = 38880. GST = 18% of 38880 = 6998.4. Total amount = 38880 + 6998.4 = 45878.4.

AI explanation

The marked price is 20% above the cost price of Rs. 36,000, calculated as 120% of 36,000, resulting in a marked price of Rs. 43,200. Gagan gives a 10% discount on this marked price to Rohit, so the selling price before tax is 90% of 43,200, which is 38,880. The GST is 18% of this selling price, calculated as 0.18 times 38,880, resulting in a tax of Rs. 6,998.4. The total amount paid by Rohit is the sum of the selling price and the tax, giving 38,880 plus 6,998.4, which equals Rs. 45,878.4, so the marked price is Rs. 43,200.
