Answer 1

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Cost}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{railway}\mathrm{ticket}=\mathrm{Rs}720 \\ \mathrm{Rate}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{tax}=3\% \\ \mathrm{Tax}=3\%\mathrm{of}\mathrm{Rs}720=\frac{3}{100}\times 720=\mathrm{Rs}21.60 \\ \mathrm{Now},\mathrm{Total}\mathrm{amount}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{ticket}\mathrm{including}\mathrm{tax}=720+21.60=\mathrm{Rs}741.60 \end{gathered}$$
