Question

Geeta purchased a face-cream for Rs. $79.10$ including Sales Tax. If the printed price of the face-cream is Rs. $70$; find the rate of Sales Tax.

• A. $7\%$
• B. $10\%$
• C. $13\%$
• D. $18\%$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $13\%$

Total price (including Sales Tax) $=$ Rs. $79.10$ and, printed price $=$ Rs. $70$
$\therefore$ Sales Tax paid $=$ Rs. $79.10-$ Rs. $70=$ Rs. $9.10$
and the rate of Sales Tax $=\frac{9.10}{70}\times 100\%=13\%$
