Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of the watch = ₹ 950

Sales tax charged on it =5%

So total bill amount =

= SALES TAX+ ORIGINAL COST

= Sales tax= 5% of ₹ 950

= 5x₹950/100 (here 5x₹950 will be the numerator and 100 will be the denominator

we added 100 because of the % symbol attached to 5)

=5x₹950/100= ₹47.5

so the sales tax charged on it = ₹47.5

Bill amount = Cost of item + Sales tax = ₹ 950 + ₹47.5 =  ₹997.5

ANS= The bill amount is  ₹997.5
