Question

Rajat purchases a wrist-watch costing Rs 540. The rate of sales tax is 8%. Find the total amount paid by Rajat for the watch.

Answer 1

The sale price of watch = Rs 540

Rate of sales tax = 8%

Total amount paid by Rajat = Rs 540 + 8% of Rs 540

`="Rs." 540 + 8/100 xx 540`               

= Rs 540 + Rs 43.20

= Rs 583.20
