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

@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%).

@Dezal

Let make marks be = x.
40% of x = 40 + 40.
40/100(x) = 80.
x = 200.

Hope this will help you.

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?

Total price = 6650.

This is common for both tax and rebate.

Rebate = 6% reduce the Total price then.

Tax = 10% increase the Total price.

So we take (10%-6%) = 4%, (4/100)*6650+6650 = 6676.10.

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.

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.
