Mr. Sanjay purchased a TV for Rs. 6,000. The rate of central sales tax (C.S.T) is 2%. Find the C.S.T. on the T.V.

Open in App

Solution

Let cost of T.V. without C.S.T. be $x$
Then $x + \frac{x \times 2}{100} = 6000$
$\frac{102 x}{100} = 6000$
$x = \frac{6000 \times 100}{102} = 5882.353$
C.S.T. $= R s . (6000 - 5882.353)$
$= R s . 117.647$
$≃ R s . 117.65$
