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

@Shreya.

Actual price =6000;
discount 10%= (10/100)*6000 = 600.
After discount = 6000 - 600 = 5400.
Tax6% = (6/100) * 5400 = 324.
Final price = 5400+324= 5724.

A mixture of 20 litres of milk and water contains 20% of water. The new mixture is formed by adding 5 litres of water. What is the percentage of milk in the new mixture?

Can anyone solve this problem?

If m- 4 is 7 more than n then m + 9 is how much more than n + 2?

m - 4 = 7+n,
m = n+11,
Then m + 9 = n + 11 + 9,
m + 9 = n + 20,
m + 9 = n + 2 + 18.

Then the answer is 18.

@Dezal.

Out of 20 liters, 20% is water and remaining 80% is milk. In the second case, the volume is increased by adding water only. So milk % will remain same(80%).

@Shreya.

6000x(90/100)x(106/100) = 5724.

The answer is wrong. Rebate means "refund". Thus amount (6%) should have been added not subtracted.
