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

.30 is the actual tax paid not a part of the taxable portion which is rs.5.So .30 should not be included in the end of the solution.

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/-.

I need help with these 2 questions:
1) A table and two chairs together cost $400. If by selling the chairs at 10% loss and the table at 10% profit, a total of 5% profit is made. What is the cost price of a chair?
2) A container contains 30 litres of alcohol. From this container 5 litres of liquid is taken out and the container is completely filled by water. Next time 6 litres of mixture was taken out and the container was completely filled with water. Approx how much percent alcohol is left behind in the container?

analyze this way... saletax on tax
6% is 30ps that is saletax on tax so find tax...
if 6%=30ps find for 100% u get tax
non taxable items = cost-tax-saletax = 25 - 5 - .3 = 19.70
