Rajeev buys good worth Rs. 6650. He gets a rebate of 6% on it. After getting the rebate, he pays sales tax @ 10%. Find the amount he will have to pay for the goods.
Rs. 6876.10
Rs. 6999.20
Rs. 6654
Rs. 7000
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Rebate = 6% of Rs. 6650 = Rs. 6 x 6650 = Rs. 399.
100

Sales tax = 10% of Rs. (6650 - 399) = Rs. 10 x 6251 = Rs. 625.10
100

Final amount = Rs. (6251 + 625.10) = Rs. 6876.10

A = B(150/100)
C = A(120/100)

C = B(120/100(150/100))

A+B+C = 86000

WE GET B = 20000, A = 30000
then
C = 36000

What is rebate anybody please?

@Pinki.

I think answer is 50 cc.

Salt : water.

Initial 1:1.
After 1:3.

So net water added=3-1=2 part.

Here initial volume is given 50 cc.

So 2 part = 50 cc.

Net water added = 50 cc.

I hope you understand.

A = 150% of B = 150/100*B = 3/2B.

C = 120% of A = 120/100*A = 6/5A = 6/5*3/2B = 9/5B.

A+B+C = 86000.

3/2B+B+9/5B = 86000.

43B/10 = 86000.

So B = 20000.

3/2*20000+20000+C = 86000.

C = 86000-50000 = 36000 OR C = 9/5*20000 = 36000.

Total price = 6650 and discount 6% = 6650-6/100 = 399 and 6650-399 = 6251 include tax 10% = 10/100*6251 = 625.10 then add 6251+625.10 than answer.
