Question

Ravi ate in a restaurant and got a membership discount of 30% on the original bill amount but he had to pay 10% as service tax and 8% service charge on the discounted bill amount. If Ravi paid Rs 4,743 which included a tip of Rs 200, how much money did he give as service charge?
(a) Rs 324
(b) Rs 314
(c) RS 296
(d) Rs 308
(e) Rs 272

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the bill after a discount of 30% be ₹ k

According to the Question,

→ Membership discount = 30%

→ Should pay 10% service tax and 8% service charge on discounted bill

→ Ravi paid ₹ 4743 (tip of ₹ 200)

To Find:

⇒ How much money did he give as service charge?

Solution:

${\dfrac{k\;*\;118}{100} = 4743 \;\;200}$

${\dfrac{k\;*\;118}{100} = 4543}$

${k = \dfrac{4543\;*\;100}{118} = 3850}$

$\mathsf{Service\;\:charge} \;=\;{\dfrac{3850\;*\;8}{100}}$

On further simplification,

We get..

₹ 308  (Option d)

Service Charge = ₹ 308

Answer 2

$\huge{ \mathtt{ Given-}}$

• Discount got by Ravi on the original bill =30%
• Service tax had to pay by him =10%
• Service charge on the discounted bill =8%
• Total amount paid by Ravi = Rs.4,743(tip of ₹ 200)

$\huge{ \mathtt{Need \: to \: find-}}$

• Money given by him as a service charge

$\huge{ \purple{ \mathtt{Solution:-}}}$

Let the bill after 30% discount be Rs.'x'

According to question

$\large{ = > \frac{ x \times 118}{100} = 4743 - 200}$

$\large{ = > \frac{x \times 118}{100} = 4543}$

$\large{ = > x = \frac{4543 \times 100}{118}}$

$\large{ = > x = 3850}$

Therefore, service charge =

$\large{ = > \frac{3850 \times 8}{100} }$

$\large{ = > Rs.308}$

$\large{ \boxed{ \blue{ \mathtt{Hence, \: Option \: d \: is \: right}}}}$
