Aptitude - Percentage - Discussion

19.70 Rs is the correct answer because it is given in question that total tax is 0.3 Rs.

Now by the given data as tax rate 6% we have to find how much amount is present in 25 Rs on which tax is imposed after calculation this simply tells us that there are 5 Rs items on which the tax of 0.3 Rs is imposed so now total amount is 5 Rs for items and 0.3 Rs tax on those items total is 5.3 Rs to find out price of non taxable.

Items we will deduct rs 5.3 from Rs 25.

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 also think 20 is the right answer. Why do we have to deduct 30 paise?

Total tax = 30 paisa = 0.3 rupees.

Amount for which this tax is imposed, can be calculated as:

If tax is 6 rupees then amount = 100.

If tax is 1 rs then amount = 100/6.

If tax is 0.30 rs then amount = 100/6*0.30 = 5.

Now tax free amount = 25-(5+0.30) = 19.70.

Note, we added 0.30 in 5 to find the total amount along with tax and then subtracted from 25 to get tax free amount.

What is the meaning of purchasable tax? This word confused me.

6% is equal to 30 paise.
60% is equal to 300 p.
90% is equal to 450 p.

Remaining is 10% ok in 10 % (6 % is 30 p) so remaining is 4%
4% is equal to 20 p.

Now we add all paisas 450+30+20 = 500 paisa it is equal to 5 rupees ok.

So tax rate is 5 now we subtract it from original price 25-5 = 20.

From 20 we subtract basic tax is 20 - 0.30 = 19.7 rupees.

If x is the total value of the amount paid.
Then 6 Percent of x = 30 paise as per the given data.

This implies 6/100 * x = 30 / 100 Rs.
Therefore x = 5Rs.

Adding 0.3 to 5 = 5.3 Rs = Total sales tax on all purchases.

Cost of all item (taxable + Non Taxable) = 25Rs.

Therefore amount paid on Non Taxable Items = 25-5.3 = 19.7Rs.

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!

Bought things worth = Rs. 25.00.

Than 25 = 30*100/6.

=500/25 = 20.

When .30 paise went on sales tax on taxable purchases.

Than = 20-0.30 = 19.70 , Option (C).

or

6% of X = 30/100 ( when .30 Paisa = Rs.30/100).

Than x = 30*100/6*100 = 5.

Hence Rs. [25 - (5+.30)].

= 19.70 ,Option (C).

Amount of which item purchased = Rs.25.
Some portion of amount comes under taxable amount...let it be X.

Total amount given = tax free amount + taxable amount + sales tax on taxable amount.

It is clearly mention in the question that, sales tax is on taxable amount.
Therefore, 6%(taxable amount) = 30/100.

Taxable amount = Rs. 5.
Sales tax= Rs. 0.30.
Total tax free amount= Rs. 19.70 i.e.(25-5.30).
