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.

@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.

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.

Let assume.
100------------>6650
94------------->? (6%he gets a rebate(discount)so,we deduct6%).

Then,94*6650/100=6251.

After that,he pays 10%on sales tax.

So,100------------->6251(after rebate total money)
110------------->?(including 10% tax).


Then,110*6251/100==>687610/100=6876.10.

He will have to pay for the goods Rs.6876.10.
