Question

Neeta wants to buy a dress priced at rupees 98.50. If the sales tax is 12.5% then what is the total amount she has to pay for the dress^

Answer 1

Tax amount = Price * tax percentage
                  = 98.50 * 12.5 / 100
                  = 12.3125
Tax amount = Rs.12.3125
Total amount = Original Price + tax amount
                    = 98.50 + 12.3125
                    =110.8125
Thus she needs to pay Rs:110.8125 for the dress.

Answer 2

Sales tax = 12.5/100 * 98.50
               =12.31 Rs
therefore, he has to pay = Rs (98.50 +12.31) 
                                   = Rs 110.81
