Gauri went to the stationers and bought things worth Rs. 25, out of which 30 paise went on sales tax on taxable purchases. If the tax rate was 6%, then what was the cost of the tax free items?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let the amount taxable purchases be Rs. x.
| Then, 6% of x = | 30 |
| 100 |
 x = |
 |
30 | x | 100 |  = 5. |
| 100 | 6 |
Cost of tax free items = Rs. [25 - (5 + 0.30)] = Rs. 19.70

Given 400$.
Assume the cost of the table is 250 and cost of two chairs 150.
250+150=400.
10% loss from chairs=150-15=135.
And 10% profit from table=250+25=275.
275+135=410 .
Here in this 410, 5% of profit is added i.e,. 10$.
So, the cost price of chair is 150.

Let the amount taxable purchases be Rs. N.
Then, 6% of N =30/100
6/100 *N = 30/100 , then N=5.
Now we have to take the tax on 5Rs i.e.. 6%of 5.
That equals to , = (6/100)*5 = 0.30.
Therefore Cost of tax free items = Rs. [25 - (5 + 0.30)] = Rs. 19.70.
Then, 6% of N =30/100
6/100 *N = 30/100 , then N=5.
Now we have to take the tax on 5Rs i.e.. 6%of 5.
That equals to , = (6/100)*5 = 0.30.
Therefore Cost of tax free items = Rs. [25 - (5 + 0.30)] = Rs. 19.70.

But it is written that the tax of 30 paise was paid out of Rs. 25.
So, the tax amount+taxable amount+ non taxable amount=Rs. 25.
actually, Gauri bought things worth Rs.25-0.30=24.70 and then she had to pay 30 paise as a tax making the total cost Rs.25.
So, the tax amount+taxable amount+ non taxable amount=Rs. 25.
actually, Gauri bought things worth Rs.25-0.30=24.70 and then she had to pay 30 paise as a tax making the total cost Rs.25.

It is like this:
Total amount available for purchase after tax is (25-0.3) Rs 24.7.
Let taxable purchase be x.
Now, 0.06x =0.3 and x = 5 (taxable purchase).
Now tax free purchase will be 24.7-5 which is equal to Rs 19.70.
Hope it is clear. Cheers!

Let the sum paid to Y per week be Rs. z.
Then X will get= 120% of Y,
It means= z*120/100= 6/5 z.
Let the total is z+6/5 z = 550.
(5z+6z)/5 =550,
11z=550*5,
z = 250 Ans.

1.question not understand
2.1st 25lit alchol+5lit water
ratio 5:1
Taking 6 lit means 5lit alchol and 1lit water are taken out therefore 20lit alchol and 4 lit water are remaining after that 6lit water is filled
20/30*100=66.66%

Income of C is 20, 000.
20% of C = 10% of B.
So 20/100*20000=10/100*B.
We got B as 40000.
Then 5% of A = 15% of B.
5/100*A= 15/100*40000.
We got A as 120000.
Total is A+B+C=120000+40000+20000.
Total is 1, 80, 000/-.
20% of C = 10% of B.
So 20/100*20000=10/100*B.
We got B as 40000.
Then 5% of A = 15% of B.
5/100*A= 15/100*40000.
We got A as 120000.
Total is A+B+C=120000+40000+20000.
Total is 1, 80, 000/-.

We have to find the cost of tax-free items.
The cost of item on which tax is paid is Rs. 5 [after crossing a limit of Rs. 20]and the tax on Rs. 5 is 30 paise.
Cost of tax free items = Rs. [25 - (5 + 0.30) ] = Rs. 19.70.
The cost of item on which tax is paid is Rs. 5 [after crossing a limit of Rs. 20]and the tax on Rs. 5 is 30 paise.
Cost of tax free items = Rs. [25 - (5 + 0.30) ] = Rs. 19.70.

Gauri buy total 25 rs items in which some are taxable and some are tax free. After calculating 5 rs is taxable in 25 and rs 5 tax is 30 paisa. That's is why.
Tax free item = total- (taxable item price+ tax amount).
Tax free item = total- (taxable item price+ tax amount).

Let x be the cost on which we are applying tax.
Then x*5/100=30/100 (30 paisa is now 30/100 rs).
x=5rs, on which we give tax.
And the tax is 0. 30rs.
So the total amount deducted will be 25- (5+0. 30) =19. 70.
Then x*5/100=30/100 (30 paisa is now 30/100 rs).
x=5rs, on which we give tax.
And the tax is 0. 30rs.
So the total amount deducted will be 25- (5+0. 30) =19. 70.
