Let the rate be x

According to question

8.75 = 250x/100

8.75 = 5x/2

8.75×2/5 = x

x = 1.75×2

x=3.5%

Answer 2

Your Answer:

Given:-

• Sunita paid ₹8.75 as GST on a bottle of shampoo worth ₹ 250.
• Amount paid as tax = 8.75
• Price of the product = 250

To find:-

• The rate of GST

Solution:-

let x be the rate of tax

$\tt x = \dfrac{tax \times 100 }{product\:\: price}$

Now finding x

$\tt x = \dfrac{8.75\times 100}{250}\\\\ \Rightarrow x =\dfrac{875}{250}\\\\ \Rightarrow x = 3.5\%$

So, the rate of GST is 3.5%
