Find the total amount to be paid (including GST) for the above bill.

ICSE Specimen Question Paper – 2026

Ans: Step 1: Let’s start by calculating discount on the marked price and then discounted price for each item:

a) Dryfruits: Discount is Rs. 100 and hence discounted rate

= ₹1,200 – ₹100 = ₹ 1,100

b) Packed Wheat Flour: Discount is Nil and hence discounted rate

= ₹ 286 – ₹0 = ₹ 286

c) Bakery Products: Discount is 10% or ₹ 500 x 10% = ₹ 50.

Hence, discounted rate = ₹500 – ₹50 = ₹ 450

Step 2: Next, we need to calculate GST amount on this net basic price and then final price inclduing tax:

a) Dryfruits: GST is 12%, hence, GST amount is 12% x ₹ 1,100 = ₹ 132

∴ Final price (amount to be paid including GST) = ₹ 1,100 + ₹ 132 = ₹ 1,232

b) Packed Wheat Flour: GST is 5%, GST amount is 5% x ₹ 286 = ₹ 14.30

∴ Final price (amount to be paid including GST) = ₹ 286 + ₹ 14.30 = ₹ 300.30

c) Bakery Products: GST is 12%, hence, GST amount is 12% x ₹ 450 = ₹ 54

∴ Final price (amount to be paid including GST) = ₹ 450 + ₹ 54 = ₹ 504

Step3: Next, we calculate total values for Discounted Price, Tax Amount and Total amount to be paid

(we need to sum up values calculated in above steps for Dryfruits,  Packed Wheat Flour, and Bakery Products)

a) Total of Discounted Prices = ₹ 1,100 + ₹ 286 + ₹ 450 = ₹ 1,836

b) Total of Tax Amounts = ₹ 132 + ₹ 14.30 + ₹ 54 = ₹ 200.30

c) Total amount to be paid = ₹ 1,232 + ₹ 300.30 + ₹ 504 = ₹ 2,036.30

[Check: Total of dicounted price + tax amount = ₹ 1,836 + ₹ 200.30 = ₹ 2,036.30

Since it matches with our calculated value of “Total amount to be paid”, our answer is correct.]

Step 4: Last, we present these in a tabular form as an extension of the given tableNext, we need to calculate GST value and then final price inclduing tax:
