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.
