Question

During a summer sale, additional tax at the rate of \(5\%\) of the discounted price is levied on discounted items. If the marked price of a shirt is 2,500, and a discount of \(30\%\) is offered on the shirt during the summer sale, then what would be the final selling price of the shirt after the extra tax?

• A. ₹ 1,750
• B. ₹ 1,822.50
• C. ₹ 1,837.50
• D. ₹ 1,875

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Calculate the discounted price. 

Discounted Price:

\[ 2500 - \frac{30}{100} \times 2500 = 2500 - 750 = 1750 \]

Step 2: Apply the tax of 5% on the discounted price.

Tax:

\[ \frac{5}{100} \times 1750 = 87.5 \]

Step 3: Add the tax to the discounted price.

Final Price:

\[ 1750 + 87.5 = 1837.5 \]

Conclusion: The final price of the shirt after tax is ₹1,837.50.
