Question 41

Abida bought 100 pens at the rate of Rs 3.50 per pen and pays a sales tax of 4%. The total amount paid by Abida is ___

Answer 1

Number of pens bought by Abida = 100
Rate of per pen = Rs. 3.50
So, cost of 100 pens = 100 $\times$ 3.50 = Rs. 350
Abida also paid 4% sales tax on Rs. 350.
So, the total amount paid by Abida = $350\times \frac{4}{100}+350=350\times \frac{1}{25}+350=14+350=Rs.364$
