Question

A railway ticket cost $Rs.720$, a further tax of $3\%$ on this amount is added to it. What is the total of this ticket?

Answer 1

Ticket cost before tax $=Rs.720$

Tax $=3\%$

Total ticket cost after including tax $=720+3\%$ of $720$

$=720+\frac{3}{100}\times 720$

$=720+0.03\times 720$

$=720+21.6$
$=Rs.741.6$

Hence total cost of ticket is $Rs.741.6$
