Rs. 6999.20

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

Milk :water = 16lit : 4 lit.

After adding 5lit of water the new ratio become 16lit : 9lit.
Percentage of milk = (16/25) *100= 64%.

Hope this will help you.

Let x be maximum no.of marks and y be minimum marks.
25x/100=y-30 .......(1).

x/2 = y+(20 * y/100).

x/2 = 6y/5......(2).

From 1 x/4 = y-30.
(x/2) * 1/2 = y-30.
(6y/5) * 1/2 = y-30.
3y = 5y-150.
y = 75.
x = 180.

Good worth = 6650

Rebate = 399

So, Amount = (6650 - 399) = 6251 (After rebate)

Sales tax (10% of 6251) = 625.10

Therefore, final amount = Amount + Sales tax

= 6251 + 625.10

= 6876.10 Rs
