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

Simply way, competitive exams in less time you can solve;
25rs she brought items then,
25rs of 6% = 6.
Then subtract 6 - 25 = 19.
25rs she brought items then,
25rs of 6% = 6.
Then subtract 6 - 25 = 19.

The solution becomes:
Rs. 25= cost of Tax-free items + cost of taxable items + tax on taxable items.
.... 25 = 19.70 + 5 + 0.30.
Rs. 25= cost of Tax-free items + cost of taxable items + tax on taxable items.
.... 25 = 19.70 + 5 + 0.30.

The cost of tax-free item is =total cost-(cost of the item on which tax is imposed + tax on it).
Correct me, if I am wrong.

Item price 25 - tax 30 paise = 24.70.
6% = 30 paise then 100%=?
100 * 30/6=500 paise means 5 rs.
Now 24.70-5 = 19.70 rs.
6% = 30 paise then 100%=?
100 * 30/6=500 paise means 5 rs.
Now 24.70-5 = 19.70 rs.

Why you adding 30 paisa in final result in question no need mention any free tax. So why you added I can't understood.

I'm unable to understand the answer.
The answer must be 20.
Why should we again calculate tax on tax payment?

Answer has to be option-d. Simply if 2o rs is non-taxable then 5 rs. Is taxable and 6% of that is 30 ps.
