Question

The cost of a pair of shoes at a shop was Rs. 1450. The sales tax charged was 8%. Find the bill amount.

• A. Rs. 1556
• B. Rs. 1566
• C. Rs. 1456
• D. Rs. 1536

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Rs. 1566

On Rs. 100, tax paid was Rs. 8

On Rs. 1450, the tax paid would be $=Rs\left(\frac{8}{100}\right)\times 1450=116$

Bill amount = cost of item + sales tax.

= Rs. 1450 + Rs. 116

= Rs. 1566
