Question

jayanti purchased a commodity for 2500 and paid a amount of rs 2700 including the sales tax . find the rate of sales tax

Answer 1

Purchasing price of commodity = Rs.2500
Amount paid including sales tax = Rs.2700
So tax paid = Rs.2700 - Rs.2500 = Rs.200
Then rate of sales tax = $\frac{200\times 100}{2500}=8\%$
Therefore the rate of sales tax is 8%.
