Question

the marked price of a bicycle is rs2800.If after giving a discount of 8percent sales tax at the rate of 5percent is to be levied find the selling price of the bicycle

Answer 1

8% of rs. 2800 = rs.(2800*8/100)

                         = rs. 224

So, discount is rs. 224

5% of rs. 2800 = rs. (2800*5/100)

                         = rs. 140

So, S.P. of the bicycle = rs. (2800-224)+140

                                     = rs.( 2576+140)

                                     = rs. 2716

(Ans) rs.2716
