Question

Rachel buys goods worth Rs.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 = Rs. 5,500

Rebate = 5% of Rs. 5500

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

= Rs. 275

Price after rebate = Rs. (5500 - 275)

= Rs. 5225

Sales tax = 5% of Rs. 5225

= Rs. $\frac{5}{100}$ $\times$ 5225

= Rs. 261.25

So, amount she will have to pay

= Rs. (5225 + 261.25)

= Rs. 5486.25
