Question 46 Comparing Quantities - Exercise

5% sales tax is charged on an article marked Rs 200 after allowing a discount of 5%, then the amount payable is ____

Answer:

Rs.199.50.

Explanation:

marked price = Rs. 200

Discount = 5%

Selling price = 200 – (5/100) × 200

= 200-20

= 190

Selling price including 5% tax = 190+(5/100)×190

= 190 + 9.5

= Rs. 199.5
