Answer 1

Abida bought 100 pens at the rate of Rs 3.50 per pen and pays a sales tax of 4%. The total amount paid by Abida is ₹ 1714.

Explanation:

Number of pens bought by Abida = 100

Rate of per pen = Rs. 3.50

So, cost of pens = 100 × 3.50 = 1350

Abida also paid 4% sales tax on Rs. 350

So, the total amount paid by Abida = `350 xx 4/100 + 350`

= `350 xx 1/25 + 350`

= 14 + 350

= Rs. 364

Total amount paid by Abida = Rs. 1350 + Rs. 364 = Rs. 1714
