Question

Sunita paid Rupees 27.50 as a sale tax on a bottle of shampoo worth rupees 250 find the rate of sale tax

Answer 1

the rate on the sale tax is 11%

Answer 2

sales price = 250

sales tax amount = 27.50

we know that

sales price * sales tax rate = sales tax amount

then sales tax rate = sales tax amount / sales price

sales tax rate =( 27.50 / 250 )*100 = 2750/250 = 11%
