Question

The price of a TV is \(Rs\) \(13,000\). The sales tax charged on it is at the rate of \(12\) %. Find the amount that Vinod will have to pay if he buys it.

Answer 1

On \(Rs\) \(100\), the tax to be paid = \(Rs\) \(12\)
On \(Rs\) \(13000\), the tax to be paid will be = \(Rs\) \(\bigg(\frac{12}{100} × 13000\bigg)\)
= \(Rs\) \(1560\)
\(\text{Required amount} = \text{Cost} + \text{Sales Tax }= Rs\; 13000 + Rs \;1560\)
= \(Rs \;14560\)

Thus, Vinod will have to pay \(Rs\) \(14,560\) for the T.V.
