Answer 1

Each subpart: 3 Marks

a) M.P. = Rs 32450, Sales Tax = 9%
Tota amount payable = M.P. + S.T % of M.P.
$=Rs32450+Rs\frac{9}{100}\times 32450$
$Rs32450+Rs2920.50$
$=Rs35370.50$

b)
M.P. = Rs 23500
Sales tax = Rs 10% of Rs 23500
$=Rs\frac{10}{100}\times Rs23500=Rs2350$
Amount to be paid = Rs 23500 + Rs 2350 = Rs 25850
Extra central tax = 2% of Rs 25850
$=\frac{2}{100}\times 25850=Rs517$
Total amount to be paid = Rs 25,850 + Rs 517 = Rs 26,367
