Question

Rajeev buys good worth Rs. 6650. He gets a rebate of 6% on it. After getting the rebate, he pays sales tax @ 10%. Find the amount he will have to pay for the goods.

Answer 1

Rebate=6%of 6650 I.e price after rebate is 94% of 6650 = 6251..........sales tax is 10% of 6251=625.1 Therefore Final amount paid =6251+625.1=6876.1

Answer 2

${\sf\underline{\red{Rebate\:is\: equivalent\:to\:discount}}}$

6650 × (100-6)% = 6650 × 94% = 6,251

6,251 × 10% = 625.10 sales tax

6,251 + 625.10 = 6,876.10 total amount paid.
