Question

a man purchases some medicine for Rs 155.50 . If the rate of sales tax is 6% , calculate the amount the man has to pay for the medicine.

Answer 1

Taxable amount (amount before tax) = 155.50
Sales Tax = 6%

Now tax is to be added so:
$= 155.50 \times \frac{100 + 6}{100} \\ = 155.50 \times \frac{106}{100} \\ \\ = 164.83$
Rs. 164.83
