Question

Abdul purchases a pair of clothes with a marked price $Rs.1,350$. If the rate of sales tax is $4$%, calculate the amount to be paid by him

Answer 1

Marked price of the item is $Rs.1,350$, and sales tax is $4$%, on the marked price. Hence the total sales tax on the item is $\frac{4}{100}\times 1350=Rs.54$.
Amount to be paid $=$ Marked price + tax =$Rs.1,350+Rs.54=Rs.1,404$. Hence, the amount to be paid by him is $Rs.1,404$.
