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.
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

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.

Let make marks be = x.
40% of x = 40 + 40.
40/100(x) = 80.
x = 200.
Hope this will help you.

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%).

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.
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.

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

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