• A. $172.50$
• B. $272.50$
• C. $372.50$
• D. $472.50$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$472.50$

Given:
Selling price $=$ Rs. $450$
We know that Sales tax $=5\%$ of $450$
$=$ $\frac{5\times 450}{100}$
$=$ Rs. $22.50$
Therefore, bill amount $=$ selling price $+$ sales tax
$=450+22.50$
$=$ Rs. $472.50$
The bill amount is Rs.$472.50$.
