Question

Rachel buys goods worth ₹ 5,500. She gets a rebate of 5% on it. After getting the rebate, sales tax @ 5% is charged. Find the amount she will have to pay for the goods.

• A. Rs. 5846.25
• B. Rs. 4486.25
• C. Rs. 5500
• D. Rs. 5486.25

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Rs. 5486.25

Price of goods = ₹ 5,500

Rebate = 5% of ₹ 5500

= Rs. $\frac{5}{100}$ $\times$ 5500

= ₹ 275

Price after rebate = ₹ (5500 - 275)

= ₹ 5225

Sales tax = 5% of ₹ 5225

= ₹ $\frac{5}{100}$ $\times$ 5225

= ₹ 261.25

So, amount she will have to pay

= ₹ (5225 + 261.25)

= ₹ 5486.25
