Question

The cost of a shirt bought from the mall is ₹ 1500 and the sales tax charged is 15%. Find the bill amount.

• A. ₹ 1525
• B. ₹ 1725
• C. ₹ 2225
• D. ₹ 1925

Answer 1

The correct option is B ₹ 1725

Given, price of shirt = ₹ 1500 and sales tax charged is 15%

Sales tax paid = 15% of ₹ 1500
Sales tax paid = $\frac{15}{100}$ $\times 1500$
Sales tax paid = ₹ 225

Therefore,

Bill amount = cost of shirt + sales tax paid
Bill amount = ₹ (1500 + 225)
Bill amount = ₹ 1725
