  1. Given list price of an article = Rs 8000

    Let the Discount Rate = x %

    Discount given = (x/100)8000 = Rs. 80x

    because the shopkeeper is getting a discount of Rs. 80x, and selling the article at the Market Price

    which means he is making a  profit of Rs. 80x which is equal to the discount he got.

    so he has to pay the tax only on the profit he is making.

    ∴ Gst = (18/100) * 80x

    = 144x/10

    144x/10 = Rs.72

    x = 720/144

    ∴ x = 5%

    Answer:-    Discount % = 5%
