Question

The cost of a refrigerator is ₹ 6000 and the sales tax charged is 9%. Find the bill amount.

• A. ₹ 6540
• B. ₹ 7640
• C. ₹ 8540
• D. ₹ 8240

Answer 1

The correct option is A ₹ 6540

Given
Price of refrigerator = ₹ 6000
Sales tax charged is 9%

Sales tax paid = 9% of ₹ 6000
Sales tax paid = $\frac{9}{100}$ $\times 6000$
Sales tax paid = ₹ 540

Therefore,

Bill amount = cost of refrigerator + sales tax paid
Bill amount = ₹ (6000 + 540)
Bill amount = ₹ 6540
