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

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.

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.

Q - A chemist has 50cc. Salt solution in which salt is 50%. How water should be added to it so that the solution may be 25% of salt?

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

@Dezal

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

Hope this will help you.

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