full explain question

Answer 1

Given that:

• 6% sale tax is added on the purchase of 24 kg wheat flour at the rate of 32 per kg.

To Find:

• The amount.

Finding the cost price of 24 kg wheat:

↣ Cost of 1 kg wheat = Rs 32

By unitary method.

↣ Cost of 24 kg wheat = Rs 32 × 24

↣ Cost of 24 kg wheat = Rs 768

Adding sale tax:

Amount = Sale tax + Cost price

↠ Amount = 6% of 768 + 768

↠ Amount = 768(6% + 1)

↠ Amount = 768(6/100 + 1)

↠ Amount = 768(0.06 + 1)

↠ Amount = 768(1.06)

↠ Amount = 814 (approx.)

Hence,

• The amount is Rs. 814.

Answer 2

Solution:

Calculating CP

Cost of 1kg of wheat flour = 32kg

Cost of 24 kg of of wheat flour = 32 × 24 = 768.

Calculating STX

$\sf{A = STX + CP}$

$\sf\to \: \: A = 6\% \: of \: 768 + 768$

$\sf\to \: \: {A= \frac{6 \times 768}{100} + 768}$

$\sf{ \pink{\frak{\to \: \: {A = 814.08}}}}$

Therefore, the required amount is 814.08.
